AT the recent Apprenticeship Factory Awards Night, Goulburn Murray Group Training trading as The Apprenticeship Factory and Monarch Personnel launched their ‘Giving Back’ to the Community Project.

The Apprenticeship Factory operates as a non-for-profit entity, where investing in the community is at the core of decision-making.

The Apprenticeship Factory has a strong history of supporting many local community projects and initiatives and on the evening, they announced a program that will enable a broad range of community-based organisations to deliver new initiatives that will be of direct benefit to the residents of the Goulburn Valley Region. These initiatives could be educational, environmental, recreational, cultural, focused on health and wellbeing or social connectivity.

This program is a clear indication of the commitment The Apprenticeship Factory and Monarch Personnel has to the communities in which it serves, and they look forward to receiving applications when the program commences in January 2019.

To kick-start the program there was another exciting announcement on the evening, with $20,000 being donated to the GV Health Foundation to complete a collaborative community project of a ‘Therapeutic Garden’ at the Palliative Care Unit at GV Health. This space will provide opportunities for families to spend time with their loved ones in a relaxed, comfortable environment. The Apprenticeship Factory is certainly very pleased to be a significant contributor of this community project.

On the evening two employees, Paula Ryan and Natalie Simpson who have been employed with The Apprenticeship Factory for over 10 years, presented the cheque to Carmel Johnson from the GV Health Foundation.

The Apprentice Factory is located at 44 Wyndham Street, Shepparton and can be contacted on 1300 134 648.
