24 April, 2024

Australia鈥檚 largest and only national 肛交视频ship Network Provider (ANP), MEGT, has been awarded a Federal Government contract to provide Australian 肛交视频ship Support Services (AASS) to regional Western Australia and the ACT.

In total, MEGT will provide AASS services in six out of eight employment regions across Australia, including an ongoing presence in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Perth and surrounds.

MEGT has provided similar services on behalf of the Federal Government since 1998. However, this is the first time it has been engaged by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) to operate in the Outback WA and ACT employment regions since 2020.

CEO Matthew Hick said MEGT was looking forward to once again offering services such as signups of apprentices and trainees and ongoing mentoring support from July 1 this year.

鈥淲e鈥檝e proudly supported employers, apprentices and trainees since 1982 when we first opened our doors as a Group Training Organisation (GTO)鈥, Mr Hick said.

鈥淎ll of us at MEGT are passionate about what we do, which is why we鈥檙e so excited to bring back our expertise to regional Western Australia and the ACT. We can鈥檛 wait to engage with even more communities to help create local job and training opportunities鈥.

MEGT is an Australian not-for-profit business which has helped more than 1.5 million Australians into work, while supporting over 450,000 Australian businesses. It employs more than 650 staff based in approximately 60 offices across the country.

The new AASS contract introduces some exciting changes to the way apprenticeship services are delivered, with a strong focus on improving commencement, retention and completion rates.

The framework to achieve these outcomes includes comprehensive pre-employment assessments, expanded mentoring and other services to provide tailored support, and increased engagement with schools to encourage a strong pipeline of talent.

The services are at no cost to jobseekers, employers, apprentices or trainees.

鈥淎ll Australians deserve access to quality training and employment opportunities, and that鈥檚 what MEGT will continue providing in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Perth and surrounds, and re-introduce to the ACT and regional Western Australia鈥, Mr Hick said.

鈥淲e focus on understanding the needs of individuals and the communities where they live, which means we can individualise supports for apprentices, trainees and employers alike鈥.
