Construction Training Centre Training
 

At a Glance
Training Services are delivered through CTC’s training initiatives, Skill-Build and Orsus and are primarily focused on pre-trade training for those not in paid employment. Both our Skill-Build and Orsus programs are fully funded by the Queensland Government or the Building & Construction Industry Training Fund and incur no costs to the participant.

CTC is not a registered training organisation, but employs qualified trainers who deliver nationally accredited training under the supervision of one of its training partners.

Skill-Build programs are delivered from its own dedicated workshop and classroom on the precinct (Building 10).

Programs are delivered at various sites, most recently Skilled and Adept Packaging in Rocklea and Bulimba State School.

Our training services focus on the following areas:


Employment Programs

Through the Queensland Government’s 'Skilling Queenslanders for Work' initiative, CTC delivers work placement projects which provide paid employment to individuals who are most disadvantaged in the job market. Work placement projects must benefit the community and should address identified skills shortages and lead to on-going employment.

Participants on CTC’s Work Placement projects undertake a mix of supervised work and undertake nationally accredited training delivered by experienced trainers.

Youth Programs

CTC, through its Training Division 'Skill-build' delivers 'Get Set for Work' programs to young people aged 15-17 years of age who have disengaged or are at risk of disengaging from mainstream schooling prior to completing Year 12. With funding from the Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative, CTC’s Get Set for Work projects aim to provide participants with skills to allow them to move into full-time employment, return to mainstream education or enrol into a vocational education and training course to gain a qualification.
CTC’s Get Set for Work programs are currently in their third successful year and there are currently two simultaneous programs running, Build Up...Strength through Skills and Refugees Ready for Work.

Build Up . . . strength through skills
The program aims to assist approximately 35 young people from a Pacific Island background, providing them with a structured program in an informal setting which will include a mixture of –

  • construction project work
  • vocational training
  • literacy and numeracy
  • work placement
  • life and employability skills
  • health and physical education and
  • personal development.

This program reflects the partnering and brokering model favoured by CTC and a number of agencies have input to this program to make it a success, including:

  • Department of Employment, Economic Development & Innovation
  • Nyanda State High School
  • Relate CDP
  • Brisbane South Youth Justice Service
  • Total Driver
  • Australian-Tongan Youth & Community Association
  • Pacific Youth Centre
The foundation Build-Up participants . . . big shoes to fill!
