Since its founding 25 years ago by the metropolitan councils of Melbourne’s inner north, the primary focus of the INGT Group has been to serve the communities in the region. Starting with the INGT Group’s original trading arm of Apprenticeships Plus, the INGT Group has been providing training and apprenticeship opportunities to the people of northern Melbourne, particularly young people.

Recognising the increasing economic linkage between the inner north and the greater northern region, the INGT Group has grown and diversified in line with the expanding boundaries and changing demographics of Melbourne’s North.

The INGT Group has expanded its operations to provide numerous high quality employment, training, and skill development opportunities across a wide range of locations in Australia.

By operating nationally, the INGT Group promotes workforce participation throughout the country which benefits Melbourne’s inner northern communities by generating surpluses that are donated to the Inner North Community Foundation.

INGT has grown into a group of four businesses: Apprenticeships Plus, MAS National, Process Plus, and Work & Training. In 2008, a new INGT parent entity was created to coordinate the group and promote synergies.
