BGT has been a story of continued success for over thirty years. In 1986 we began with a philosophy of providing young people with employment opportunities to reach their full potential and to provide employers with well skilled and suitable staff. While today, we offer a much broader range of services, our original philosophy remains as strong as ever to create positive life-stories for our local youth and the wider community.

Like many careers, ours is a story of change, determination and most of all growth. BGT now provide various entry level qualifications, employment and assistance programs to all members of our local community.

We’re extremely proud to have helped write, and in some cases rewrite, the story of so many local people’s lives by providing the critical assistance, knowledge, and employment early on, so that their career can deliver the outstanding personal success that so many of our graduates enjoy.
​

Care and professionalism at every turn.
Our services are provided by a dedicated and professionally trained team who are passionate about their work. And all BGT staff undergo extensive recruitment processes including interviews, reference checks, police checks and working with children checks.

If you are interested in our services and would like to find out more, please call 5333 8600 or email or you can always visit us at our offices and training facilities at 25-39 Barkly Street, Ballarat

We invite you to write your next chapter, in our great story.

Let's Start Talking About Your Training

‘Young Mums’ and BGT has given me the confidence to get back into the workforce and
be a working parent.

We’ve been assisting businesses large and small to remove the stress of managing an Apprentice or Trainee with our proven Apprenticeship and Traineeship hosting services. With a BGT hosting agreement you can focus on the job at hand and let BGT do the rest.

I am completing a Certificate in Education Support at BGT.

They provide the understanding and encouragement to achieve my goals. Teaching is adaptable to nurture all learners, and students feel comfortable to share ideas and concerns.

We have fun in class and laugh as we learn.  I have gained increased confidence and the knowledge I need to gain employment. Thank you BGT, I am on my way.

Community & Youth Services aim to assist people who have left school, to continue with their education, training and/or employment. Individual case management may include motivation, problem solving, skill development, advocacy, mediation, assistance to access education training and employment services and where appropriate, referral to specialist support services.

Reconnect intensively supports early school leavers and long-term unemployed young people aged 15-55 to get into vocational education and training.

Reconnect have helped me a lot in the past couple of days in organising my career plan. They are still helping me, especially with helping me to organise my enrolment in a Diploma of Community Services.

​Kyle

At BGT we‘ve been thoroughly preparing people for the manufacturing and engineering industries by teaching key skills in metalwork, engineering, fabrication and welding.

Our dedicated Industry Skills Centre has been specifically designed to provide quality one-on-one tuition. 

Participants not only learn the hands on skills of engineering such as fabrication, cutting and welding, but are also educated in engineering disciplines like Drawing Interpretation, Geometric Development and Quality Systems and Procedures.
​
Thanks to this broad education detail, our Industry Skills Centre facility, and the genuine industry experience of our instructors, BGT delivers better prepared, more broadly skilled and competent graduates.
