Our Mission

- Provide access to Vocational Education Training (VET) to assist in the transition to the workforce.
- Support host companies in the provision of employment-based training.
KGT identifies employment opportunities in the region and works with candidates to prepare them for the identified jobs. KGT then employs the participants in an apprenticeship or traineeship and manages their work placement and training through to completion of the qualification.
- KGT has employed over 520 apprentices, more than 330 of whom were identified as indigenous.
- KGT has employed over 1,500 trainees, more than 1,340 of whom were identified as indigenous.
- KGT has employed over 280 school-based trainees, more than 190 of whom were identified as indigenous.
