The Group Training in the Trades Programme assists eligible participants to undertake an Australian Apprenticeship in the trades by:
- providing participants with pre-vocational training in the trades in order to gain the required pre-requisites to articulate into an Australian Apprenticeship in the trades; or
- allowing students to undertake an Australian School-based Apprenticeship in the trades whilst still at school undertaking their year 11 and 12 higher school certificate.
Particular focus will be given to trade areas which are experiencing skill shortages or where Australian Apprenticeships in the trades are being under serviced in particular areas especially through school-based apprenticeships.
Further information about GTTP can be accessed by phone on the Group Training hotline on 1300782295 or by emailing Grouptraining@deewr.gov.au.
Any Apprentice recruited through the Joint Group Training Programme or the Group Training Australian Apprenticeships Targeted Initiatives Programme cannot be recruited through the Group Training in the Trades Programme.
