What role can Group Training Organisations play in relation to the Colleges?
A key feature of the Australian Technical Colleges is that they will be industry-led and will work closely with local employers to ensure that all aspects of their students’ education and training are covered to the highest possible standard. Employers will be critical to the success of the Colleges. As local employers, Group Training Organisations (GTOs) will have the opportunity to be involved in the establishment and operation of Colleges in all identified regions across Australia. The support and commitment of local GTOs will be very important in achieving the uptake of around 7,500 School-based New Apprenticeships in the trades.
