Queensland’s Training Ombudsman, Peter Ruhanen visited the 4th Intake of our Trade Outcome Program (TOP) at Bracken Ridge TAFE and talked to students about their training and prospects for apprenticeships.  Our 100% placement of TOP Candidates over our first three intakes is clear evidence of the success of this unique program.  Peter acknowledged the success of the program and the importance of safety in the industry.

A 5th Intake is planned for April and will include a course at Bundaberg.  “The response from apprentices, TAFE trainers and our Host Employers is a strong endorsement that this program is working.” said CEO Alan Sparks.  “Preparing ‘would be’ apprentices through this course is setting a new bench mark for the building and construction industry.”
