Dr. Darryn Snell and Allison Hart Monash University

The Gippsland Apprenticeship Research Project (GARP) arose from growing concern among a range of stakeholders (e.g. employers, trade unions, employment agencies, educators, group training providers, etc.) in the Gippsland region about apprentices/trainees and training schemes. The project reference group and funding sources included Monash University, Gippsland Local Government Network, Regional Development Victoria and Baw Baw Latrobe LLEN
.Stakeholder concerns included issues surrounding
* declining retention rates
* the quality of apprenticeships and traineeships
* employers’ motivation in taking on apprentices
* apprentice/trainee motivations for undertaking training.

Violence Against Women

In Australia, one in three women will be assaulted or abused in her lifetime. These women are our mothers, our girlfriends, our wives, our daughters, our colleagues and our friends. How have we allowed this to occur?
Not only is it unacceptable for this violence to take place, it is unacceptable that we allow certain behaviours and attitudes to go unchallenged.
Some of us experience violence first hand. Others hear stories of violence against women. Others observe it or look on from afar. The worst part? We remain silent.
If we are to move our society forward and prevent violence against women from occurring, we must speak out. We must take action to challenge attitudes and behaviours. We must not remain silent.


The White Ribbon Campaign is the only national violence prevention campaign, and it is unique in that it aims to raise awareness among Australian men and boys about the roles they can play to prevent violence against women. The campaign calls for men across Australia to speak out and take an oath. An oath swearing never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.


Gippsland Trades & Labour Council hosted an afternoon tea on White Ribbon Day and joined Secretary, John Parker in signing the oath on behalf of the Council.
