There are many benefits for businesses of any size and from any industry to use a group training organisation to help recruit, train and onboard trainees, including:

GTOs offer a high degree of flexibility regarding scheduling and delivering training programs. Businesses can tailor their training programs to suit their specific needs and requirements.
Through the management of the GTO, trainees and host organisations are supported to succeed with frequent reporting and communication with all stakeholders through a dedicated field officer.
