GTNT Group is delighted to announce our successful bid for the Australian Government contract, securing our role in supporting apprenticeships and traineeships in the Northern Territory from 2024 to 2026, starting on July 1st. Through our business unit, Apprenticeships NT, we will leverage our three decades of expertise to implement the new model and deliver exceptional apprenticeship services across the Northern Territory. With over 35 years of experience in apprenticeship support, we are eager to build our track record. Our goal remains steadfast: enhancing apprentice and employer satisfaction while boosting completion rates throughout their Australian Apprenticeship journey. 

The new apprenticeships support services model โ€“ which begins 1 July 2024 โ€“ places apprentices at the centre of delivery through an enhanced assessment at the beginning of the apprenticeship and strengthened mentoring services for apprentices and their employers while in-training. First Nations apprentices, women apprentices in male-dominated trades, apprentices with disability and apprentices in remote Australia, will receive guaranteed access to mentoring support. 

Apprenticeship support providers offer guidance in claiming available financial incentives and deliver a range of other support including: 

  • Personalised information and advice on apprenticeship pathways 
  • Support to address barriers to retention and completion, including pastoral care, career and industry mentoring and counselling. 
  • In addition to mentoring support, we will deliver a range of Northern Territory Government regulatory and administrative services.

 Apprenticeships NT is jointly funded by the Australian Government - Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) and the Northern Territory Government - Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (DITT) to provide both administrative and regulatory functions on their behalf. Apprenticeships NT is dedicated to promoting and facilitating Australian Apprenticeships for individuals and employers, while also assisting those interested in pursuing Vocational Education and Training pathways. 

โ€œGTNT has shown that it is well placed to support apprentices and their employers throughout the NT."- ๐™ˆ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™Ž๐™ ๐™ž๐™ก๐™ก๐™จ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ, ๐˜ฝ๐™ง๐™š๐™ฃ๐™™๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™Šโ€™๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ง

Good News Story - Tu Nguyen

โ€œMy advice to other people who are considering an apprenticeship is itโ€™s a great idea to study and work at the same time. You can practice, you can earn to support your life, to support your studies. I think you will learn more in the industry than university... I think itโ€™s the best choice to be an apprentice.โ€ โ€“ Tu Nguyen
Congratulations to Tu on the completion on his Chef Apprenticeship with Darwin Trailer Boat Club. Tu completed his Certificate III in Commercial Cookery through Charles Darwin University
Tu was recognised for his dedication to his trade by winning the award for Best Apprentice at the 2022 Hospitality NT Aristocrat Technologies Awards for Excellence in June.
