12.06.2022 This morning we partnered with National Association of Women in Construction - NAWIC WA Chapter to host a speed careering event at our Acacia Ridge campus. It was the perfect opportunity for female high school students to find out more about trade careers. They also had the opportunity to meet women who are in training, working and running their own businesses in the construction, mining and automotive.

22.01.2022 We're taking inspiration from Queensland Health to help us visualise 1.5m TAFE Queensland style. Today we've been in some of our trades workshops and are using 5.5 hammers as our guide. But it doesnt matter what you picture, what matters most is that as the COVID-19 pandemic continues you keep up the great work and stay a safe 1.5m distance from others whenever practicable.

21.01.2022 International Men's Day shines the light on men's health and well being, and celebrates the positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities.

08.01.2022 Melanie Millar has always had a keen interest in engineering and originally started out at high school undertaking a school-based apprenticeship, before transferring to an admin traineeship instead to complete her schooling. However, it wasnt until she completed her traineeship that she decided that she was more suited to a trade and is now about to move into the fourth year of her boiler making apprenticeship. We think it's great to see that more women are pursuing qualifications in traditionally male-dominated industries.
