Tyler’s journey into the construction industry isn't just about taking any program/course—it's about finding a path that fits. We're thrilled that Transition to Work could help Tyler discover that path and secure a role at Duggans. Tyler’s manager, Rodney has nothing but praise for him, noting how he's already building a solid reputation. Thanks to the combined efforts of our Program support team—Akshay, Shaniah, and his Youth Coach Dhaval —Tyler got to step out of his comfort zone and explore the construction industry. Tyler completed the Civil Contractors Federation Tasmania Ltd's two-week course, which led to a work placement at Duggans. His dedication and excellent performance during the placement earned him a continuing role at the company. We are sure this experience has given Tyler the confidence to keep venturing out, try new things, and grow.

Now this is more my style! Growing up on the farm, we learnt by doing. Because there’s nothing like hands-on experience. Today, I was proud to commit that a re-elected majority Liberal Government will build Tasmania's first purpose-built Civil Construction Training Site, right here in Carrick. It’ll provide about 3,000 training qualifications a year, helping us build the hi-vis army we need to deliver the $27bn in game changing infrastructure Tasmania has in the pipeline currently.  It’s a big part of our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania’s Future 🤝

Civil Contractors Federation Tasmania has welcomed the commitment by the Liberals to support a $4.3 million Live Works Training Site at Quercus Park. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e7ZFt4vt
