The State Government has established a Skilling SA Government Apprenticeship/Traineeship Signature Project to be implemented by the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment (OCPSE).

The Project requires an increase in public sector contract of training commencements over four years from 2018/19 until 2021/22. To facilitate this, a mandatory Group Training Organisation (GTO) panel will be established to provide services for public sector agencies and the OCPSE to access services under the Project scope.

The panel will be supporting the employment by a GTO of new apprentices/trainees hosted by public sector agencies, and the provision of recruitment and job seeking services.
