Why your child should choose a GTO for peace of mind.

Why is a GTO the safest choice for my child's apprenticeship or traineeship?

When your child is employed by a Group Training Organisation (GTO), you gain peace of mind knowing their career is protected. A GTO doesn't just find a placement; they become the legal employer, offering a crucial level of security unmatched in direct-hire models.

  • Direct Employer: The GTO manages the official Apprenticeship/Traineeship Training Contract, ensuring all legal requirements and entitlements are met.
  • Employment Continuity: The GTO is responsible for managing continuous employment and training. If one job ends, they work immediately to place your child with a new host employer so their qualifications are completed without interruption (where possible).
  • Essential Support & Care: They provide dedicated guidance and pastoral care—acting as a personal mentor and advocate to help your child navigate any workplace challenges and successfully complete their qualification.
  • Quality Control: The GTO ensures the quality of on-the-job experience is high, making sure the host employer provides the necessary training and safe work environment.

 

Why a GTO is the Safest Choice.

  • Stable Income: Your child is guaranteed a legal wage and entitlements, ensuring financial stability while they train. 
  • Guaranteed Continuity: The GTO acts as a critical safety net; if a host employer relationship changes, they manage finding a new placement, protecting your child’s job and qualification. 
  • Reliable Administration: The GTO manages all payroll, superannuation, and allowances accurately and on time.
  • Diverse Exposure: They gain broad industry experience by potentially working with multiple host employers, making them highly marketable upon completion.
  • A Personal Advocate: A Field Officer is assigned to your child for pastoral care, mentorship, and immediate assistance with any workplace issues. 
  • Seamless Training: The GTO coordinates all formal training with TAFE/RTOs, ensuring a smooth, structured pathway to qualification. 
  • Safety & Compliance: The GTO provides necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and ensures safety standards are met before work begins. 
  • Higher Success Rate: Apprentices and trainees employed by GTOs have a statistically higher chance of completing their qualification.
