Group Training is the easiest way to take on an apprentice or trainee.                                                                                                                        ATC WORK SMART employs apprentices and trainees and then places them with a host business, for varying periods, until the apprenticeship or traineeship has been completed. With Group Training, employers have the advantage of carefully selected apprentices and trainees, with a flexible placement term and minus the hassle of paperwork and payroll.  

In addition to managing the administrative requirements of apprenticeships and traineeships, ATC WORK SMART also takes care of the recruitment process and provides ongoing monitoring and support throughout the term of the placement to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Group Training Organisations today employ 20% of Australia’s traditional trade apprentices, 1 in 5 Indigenous Australian apprentices and trainees and 1 in five apprentices and trainees with a disability.

Group Training has its origins in community support and, while commercial factors play a part, community focus remains a significant feature of ATC WORK SMART policy.  

ATC WORK SMART has strong relationships with an extensive network of employers,  possesses practical in-depth industry knowledge and has the expertise and experience to successfully match apprentices and trainees to specific vacancies. 

Through our close links with schools and Registered Training Organisations we can assist in making vocational education and training accessible to both business and those seeking employment, whether young or older.
