How can I connect with the right GTO to help my business?

GTOs are not-for-profit and are focussed on addressing training and employment issues in their local community. Most GTOs operate over a large geographical area and may be able to assist even if their head office is far from you. Always contact more then one GTO as they all operate a little differently.
