About

Statewide Group Training (SA) Inc is a community-based not-for-profit organisation that has been connecting apprentices and trainees with host employers across South Australia since 1988. The organisation employs apprentices and trainees directly, then places them with businesses to gain practical trade skills while remaining Statewide employees. It specialises in matching candidates with employers across sectors including civil construction, air-conditioning, carpentry, and painting, serving as one of South Australia's largest employers of Australian Apprentices.

Tips for Applicants

This is not a traditional grant-making foundation but rather an employment and training service provider. Engagement would be relevant for employers seeking to hire apprentices/trainees or young people seeking apprenticeship opportunities in South Australia's trade sectors. Contact through their website to discuss placement or employment needs.

Giving Philosophy

Statewide operates on a mission to strengthen communities by connecting motivated apprentices with supportive employers, emphasising quality placements over quantity. The organisation values long-term skill development, cultural fit, and mindset alongside technical training, as evidenced by employer testimonials highlighting personalised matching and ongoing supervision.
