Key Challenges:
- Development of a customised and tailored training program specific to the needs of Mentone Grammar’s students.
- Designing a training program that complemented the existing curriculum structure and was engaging and inspiring for the students

CHT’s strong reputation for integrity, high quality and a personalised approach to training was a great benefit to Mentone Grammar’s students.
CHT’s trainers are all industry experts, who mentored and guided Mentone Grammar’s students whilst providing them with hands-on practical training and transferable skills to facilitate future employment opportunities.
