Skill Hire has partnered with Master Builders Association of Western Australia, the peak body for the WA building and construction industry to promote apprenticeships and training within the sector. We are now Master Builders WA’s preferred Apprenticeship Program Partner. Skill Hire apprentices will be provided with a specialist membership to Master Builders WA, that will assist apprentices throughout their career. This partnership will help us build a better construction industry, as it will increase growth of apprenticeships in the industry and provide better support and education to apprentices.
Skill Hire Chief Executive Officer, Shawn Murphy said the construction industry needs qualified and skilled professionals.
“We are really excited about working alongside the team at MBA WA to support WA’s future talent through our construction apprenticeship and trainee programs. Young people can get a foot in the door, gain new skills and get on the path to a satisfying long-term career.
“There are several industry pathways to choose from and these are not always known by parents or students thinking about future careers. We are committed to investing in skills and training to elevate the opportunities available to upskill or reskill.” Mr Murphy concluded.
John Gelavis, Executive Director of Master Builders WA, said the exciting new partnership will help provide people with the training and education required to enter the building and construction industry.
“The partnership between Skill Hire and Master Builders WA brings together two market leading organisations in the building and construction sector, working side by side to assist in promoting apprenticeships, development of upskilling apprentices, assisting our members in securing apprentices and getting people into a career within the industry.
“We pride ourselves on providing great benefits and support to our members and by working with Skill Hire as our Apprenticeship Program Partner we have a great opportunity to promote building and construction apprenticeships, upskilling apprentices and supporting the next generation through MBA WA membership.
“Like Skill Hire, MBA WA are committed to regional Western Australia and supporting all our members across the state, so this important partnership will help all our members who require training and apprenticeship assistance”, Mr Gelavis said.
