"GTNT Annual Awards May 13th, 2010
Recognising & Rewarding Excellence"

Each year, Group Training Northern Territory (GTNT) conducts its annual Darwin awards to recognise the wonderful contribution and achievements of apprentices, trainees, supervisors and employers. These awards are designed to identify and reward their efforts which are above and beyond that which is expected.

In addition to Darwin and the Top End region, GTNT also celebrate awards in Alice Springs for the Central Australian Region, Nhulunbuy for the Gove Region, Katherine and Groote Eylandt.  From here the possibilities are endless with award winners given the opportunity to showcase their talents at both a Territory and National level.
