What is a GTO?

How would it fit with an RTO ? 

A Group Training Organisation (GTO) employs apprentices and trainees directly, then places them with host employers for their workplace training and experience.

GTO = employer and support organisation

RTO = training provider

Host employer = workplace where practical skills are developed

For many businesses, the GTO model can be a lower-risk and more supported way to take on an apprentice or trainee because the GTO often manages things like:

 • recruitment

 • onboarding

 • payroll and employment administration

 • training contract coordination

 • liaison with the RTO and host employer

 • ongoing monitoring and support

It can be a really effective model for businesses that:

 ✔ want to build workforce capability

 ✔ don’t have strong internal HR/admin capacity

 ✔ are new to employing apprentices or trainees

 ✔ want support with the process

It can also create more structure and continuity for apprentices and trainees, especially where extra support or placement flexibility is needed.

RTOs — have you ever thought about how the GTO model could complement training delivery?

Businesses — have you considered using a GTO to support apprentice or trainee employment?
