BUSY At Work Apprenticeships Services and the Australian Apprenticeships Alliance (AAA)
November 1, 2009 – 9:49 pmBUSY At Work Apprenticeships Services and the Australian Apprenticeships Alliance (AAA) work closely with Group Training Organisations (GTO) to develop opportunities for apprentices and skills for employers.
Group Training is the largest employer network of apprentices and trainees throughout Australia, and assists thousands of businesses looking for apprentices and jobseekers every year. Group Training Organisations currently employ a large number of apprentices and trainees in the mining and energy sectors across QLD.
Jobseekers benefit in many ways by being employed by a Group Training Organisation including:
• You are employed by the GTO, not the actual industry business where you work - meaning if the work runs out it is the GTO’s responsibility to find you ongoing work to complete your qualification.
• All of your TAFE training is organised and monitored by your GTO.
• Your GTO will make sure that you have the necessary safety equipment to start work.
• You are never alone - once signed into your GTO apprenticeship/traineeship a Field Officer is allocated to provide services and ensure that you always have someone on hand to help with issues or to speak with when you need information.
For industry and business looking to take on apprentices and trainees, Group Training offers them the flexibility to take on an apprentice or trainee without having to deal with complex regulations or employment contracts. Business therefore has the flexibility to hire an apprentice for lengths of time that suit the needs of the business both, large and small.
