The Tasmanian Building and Construction Industry Training Board and Housing
Tasmania are working in partnership to facilitate the creation of 10 new
apprenticeship opportunities in Tasmania.
As part of the Affordable Housing Strategy, this initiative is calling for a
group training provider to manage and coordinate the employment of the
apprentices.
The successful organisation will be provided with funding to coordinate the
apprentices and subsidise the wages as an incentive for the building and
construction industry to employ the apprentices on Housing Tasmania
construction sites.
Group training organisations will be required to deliver a statewide response
and be able to support the training and employment of apprentices across a
range of trades and skill mixes.
This initiative aims to increase the capacity of the building and construction
industry workforce into the future and support the construction of new
affordable housing options for low income Tasmanians.
Information sessions will be held throughout the State for interested
organisations and community members who require more information. A RSVP is
required for the following sessions:
North:
Thursday 14 October 2004, 9.30 – 10.30am
South:
Friday 15 October 2004, 2 – 3 pm
To RSVP to information sessions, get a copy of the Request for Tender, or ask
any questions please contact:
