GTA Response To Commonwealth Vet Reform

Group Training Australia (GTA), the single largest network employing over 40,000 apprentices and trainees, today endorsed measures announced by the Federal Government aimed at boosting skills and streamlining the delivery of vocational education and training.

GTA Chief Executive Officer Jim Barron said the announcement by Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard of a major reform blueprint for the sector was a welcome initiative. We strongly support measures to reduce duplication across the sector and streamline the delivery of courses and programs in a way which meets the changing needs of employees and industry.
