When you enter into a Group Training Contract, you’ll be at the centre of an effective support structure between your Group Training Organisation (GTO), host employer and your Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Wages and Conditions

Apprentices and trainees are generally covered by the same employment conditions as other employees. However, they are also subject to the conditions of their training contract. The training contract is an agreement that the apprentice or trainee and their employer sign detailing the workplace based training that will be provided. It also confirms any off-the-job training which is delivered by an RTO. GTOs can provide details of the pay rates and conditions by industry.
