Established in 1987 and based in Coffs Harbour, North Coast Group Training (NCGT) is HVTC’s Division providing group training services in the North Coast region of NSW. NCGT is the region’s leading Group Training Company with a core business of selection, induction and employment of apprentices and trainees, and their placement with selected Host Employers.
NCGT offers full administration and manages the employment of the apprentice/trainee and focuses its resources on the performance management of the apprentice/trainee.
Apprenticeships offered by NCGT cover all trade areas and a range of traineeships to suit any industry, organisation or business. Apprenticeships on the North Coast cover the building industry, automotive and chefing to name a few. Traineeships covering trade areas, business, hospitality, retail and horticulture are offered frequently, but all areas of industry traineeships are covered by NCGT's services.
NCGT has a strong history of association with the NSW Department of Education and Training working closely with the local schools of the region promoting School Based Traineeships through the Careerlink program. NCGT pioneered the Careerlink Community Services Aged Care Program that allows young people to gain a qualification into a growth industry whilst still at school. Like many of the Divisions of HVTC, NCGT has nurtured high-achieving trainees and apprentices and completed innovative training programs.
