Are you interested in partnering with us to get more young people into the industry?
The peak body representing employers in the NSW civil construction industry, the CCF NSW, has joined forces with the NSW Government to visit schools and explain the industry to students and parents.
Together, we want to tell the story about how amazing this industry is.
We also want to explain how good the option of doing Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) as an alternative to University.
The NSW Government is providing extraordinary levels of funding for people who want to do VET. Undertaking a course through VET will definitely aide your chances of employment in the civil industry, and the course will help.
CCF NSW’s recommended Registered Training Organisation to do a VET qualification in civil construction is TAFE NSW.
