The GAN Australia is a GAN National Network (GNN), whose purpose is to embed the GAN concept in a national context. Our essential role is to raise awareness on apprenticeship programs and encourage companies to offer more opportunities to youth as well as to root the GAN concepts within the national context – catering to the distinct economic, cultural and institutional needs present at the national and local level. Our mission is to: - Strengthen the commitment and visibility of companies’ and organisations’ engagement in apprenticeships and traineeships as part of a sound human capital development strategy. - Share the best practices in the areas of apprenticeships, traineeships, mentoring and on-the-job training. - Encourage a network of committed companies and organizations, at the global and local levels, to support effective knowledge sharing action programs and partnerships and to scale up international cooperation to this effect.
