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.

Hear from Kaylene, a CCF NSW School Visit Officer, about her experience in the industry.

“We launched our Doors to Opportunity campaign this year to promote VET pathways and try to combat the long-held stigma surrounding VET. An important part of achieving this is our partnership with industry. I am proud to support the civil industry’s peak body CCF on its important Back to School project.”

The NSW Government recently launched a campaign to reposition VET as a valid and credible education option. The key message of the campaign is that VET is an attractive and credible alternative to a university that can lead to well-paid and rewarding careers.
