Traineeships and Apprenticeships

Local Government Traineeship Pilot Program

The GTNT Group and LGANT Local Government Traineeship Pilot Program has been extended to include school-based apprentices and trainees.

The pilot program has been funded by NTG Department of Education and Training (DET) though the Industry Skills Advisory Council NT (ISACNT). The funding will cover all costs of the pilot program; councils will only need to pay the wages for the trainee or apprentice.

The pilot program has the opportunity for 25 traineeships in:

  • Cert. III in Business
  • Cert. III in Local Government
  • Cert. III in Horticulture
  • Other Cert. III qualifications can be arranged by negotiation with GTNT

Councils may employ more than one trainee or apprentice, either full-time or school-based, under this pilot program. The trainee or apprentice can be employed directly by the council or GTNT can be the legal employer for the duration of the program.
