“What I enjoyed most about my apprenticeship was that you get to work close with other people, doing something you enjoy.”
“After a brief period of work experience in a friend’s salon, Brooke signed up for an apprenticeship and has never looked back.”
“Luke developed a passion for woodwork in high school. After completing Year 10, he signed up with a group training organisation which placed him in a cabinet making apprenticeship.”
“Jessica did a lot of work experience in the automotive industry. She fell in love with the trade, signed up for an apprenticeship and has never looked back.”
Group Training Organisations (GTOs) employ apprentices and trainees, and then place them with 'host employers', usually from small to medium sized enterprises. This arrangement frees the host employer from the burden of paperwork and payroll, as well as providing a safety net for the host employer, who has all the advantages of carefully selected apprentices and trainees without the worries of long-term employment contracts.
GTOs aim to provide a cost effective service for employers who want more flexibility and greater ease when it comes to hiring trainees and apprentices. If you feel that your business may not be able to support an apprentice or trainee for the full term of the training, or perhaps does not have the capacity to provide all the necessary training, a GTO may provide the solution.
GTOs employ trainees and apprentices and hire them out to host employers with the GTO remaining the legal employer. The GTO is responsible for the wages, conditions, training and employment of the trainee or apprentice, and also signs the Training Contract issued by the Department of Training and Workforce Development.
