• Semi-skilled migration & gap training initiative – a proposed initiative in partnership with the South Australian Skills Commission to support skilled workforce attraction and address industry skills gaps.

• Industry Accelerated Apprenticeship Program (IAAP) – an accelerated pathway, only available through CACL, which will fast-track civil construction qualifications from 36 to just 18 months.

🕐 10.30am-11.30am, Friday 9 October

CACL recently had the opportunity to welcome a group of our apprentices to the new site at Gepps Cross for its official launch.

It was a great chance to reconnect, hear about their progress, and see them proudly representing CACL alongside the Premier, the Minister for Education, Skills and Training, and the SA Skills Commissioner.

Valuable to attend today’s CITB South Australia Mature Age & Female Apprentice Research Forum, sharing insights from research delivered in collaboration with The University of Adelaide and exploring what it means for South Australia’s building and construction workforce.

Hearing from Holly Willcox and Professor Nancy Arthur reinforced both the opportunity and the urgency to better attract and support mature-age and female apprentices across our industry.

Looking forward to the continued conversation between industry, government and training providers as this work progresses.
