IOGTA is determined to meet the needs for the Indian Ocean Communities, and finding appropriate employees and qualifications for you and your business, is just one of the services that we provide. We can assist you with signing up new trainees and apprentices, or if you already have a trainee or apprentice then we can also assistance with government funding and incentives.

 

IOGTA employs and places apprentices and trainees with industry host employers, as regular group training organisations do, but we also provide support to the employers that employ their apprentices directly. We are extremely proud to declare that because of this approach, it has resulted in training completion rates that are well above the National average. Whether the employee decides to directly employ or host the apprentice through IOGTA there is a wide range of support that IOGTA provides, such as:

​

  • Guidance with selecting the right apprenticeship/ traineeship for your business;

  • Facilitate the recruitment process, if required;

  • Provide information about government incentives and subsidies;

  • Help you choose a suitable TAFE or Registered Training Organisation;

  • Facilitate the contractual requirements of the apprenticeship/ traineeship;

  • Provide pastoral care and mentoring to the apprentices and trainees;

  • Advise the employer and apprentice/trainee responsibilities under the Training Contract as required;

Financial Assistance

Whereas apprentices attend TAFE for their off-the-job training, trainees typically complete the theory component of their studies remotely.  To assist these trainees with their studies, IOGTA is funded to heavily subsidise the cost for lecturers to travel to the Indian Ocean Territories to assess trainees in their workplace.
