About GAN

The Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN) is a global network of private sector organisations and industry associations who come together to:

Advocate for work-readiness programs.
Share best practices.
Facilitate multi-stakeholder dialogue.
Commit to action around youth employability and skills development.

GAN Australia is a GAN National Network, whose purpose is to embed the GAN concept in a national context. Each GAN National Network aims to raise awareness of apprenticeship programs and encourage companies to offer more opportunities to youth.

GAN Australia is hosted by the Apprenticeship Employment Network (AEN), who are the peak industry body for group training organisations in Victoria. GAN Australia recognises the group training model as a best practice method of employing apprentices and supporting small and medium businesses.
