Expanded Jobs Training Program Comes At Critical Time

Group Training Australia (GTA), the single largest network employing over 40,000 apprentices and trainees, today welcomed the Federal Government’s commitment to extend a program that provides pre-vocational training and support to disadvantaged job seekers. GTA Chief Executive Officer Jim Barron said the investment of $30 million to create 3,650 additional places through the Australian Apprenticeships Access Program will provide a second chance to people facing difficulty entering employment or training.
