THE significant community impact of Mount Gambier’s Group Training Employment (GTE) has been immortalised in a new book documenting the organisation’s 35-year history.
Launched earlier this month, The GTE Story delves into the highs and lows since establishment and reveals how the organisation has supported the region’s young people.
More than 3000 apprentices and trainees have graduated and become the new generation of skilled technicians through GTE, with general manager Greg Megaw attributing it to a combined community effort.
