Labour is confident its proposed expansion of the Apprenticeship Boost scheme will bring more opportunities.  

It has pledged to restore a two-year, $500 employer subsidy per apprentice, and provide apprentices up to $1000 for work-related costs. 

Without criteria, it could allow for major overseas construction companies to get taxpayers money to help with employment.   

But Labour Education Spokesperson Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking it also means the company takes on more people.  

She says the country needs more jobs so people don't go to Australia.
