We work to create a skilled, diverse and sustainable building and construction workforce for Western Australia.
We collect a training levy from jobs over $20,000 in WA, and use these funds to reduce the cost of training a diverse, job-ready workforce and educate the next generation about the exciting roles and opportunities in the construction industry. We’re funding training and building skills in a variety of ways. For employers, we provide incentives and grants to reduce the cost of training apprentices
