Find the Right Apprentice for Your Business

Apprentices and trainees can help your business build a skilled workforce for the future.

They bring new energy, practical skills and a pipeline of talent that grows with your business.

You can employ an apprentice or trainee directly, but many businesses choose a Group Training Organisation
(GTO) – a simple, low-cost way to access motivated learners while the GTO manages the recruitment,
employment and training responsibilities.

What is a Group Training Organisation?

A Group Training Organisation (GTO) employs apprentices and trainees and places them with businesses, known as host employers, for their on-the-job training.


The GTO becomes the legal employer – managing wages, insurance, training contracts and ongoing support – while your business benefits from a skilled apprentice or trainee without the administrative burden of direct employment.
