On 21st/22nd July, Nudge on behalf of Delta Corporation successfully delivered a Work Readiness Training programme (WRT) for three Certificate III Concreting apprenticeships.
Delta Corporation are completing works for several projects, one being the Armadale Bridge construction as part of the Armadale Access Alliance project (led by Laing O’Rourke). Nudge is already supporting several trainees across this project and the efforts from Delta to engage local apprentices will further boost the outcomes of the project.
Nudge Manager Partnerships, Brad Durack, facilitated the Work Readiness Training on site at Delta Corporation and noted “Policies set by Main Roads WA are getting some real traction in terms of training opportunities. It has been great to see genuine commitment from head contractors taking on trainees, when done right it filter’s down to subcontractors like Delta and it’s great for the industry they are taking on their own apprentices”.
Delta Corporations General Manager Jason Walsh personally addressed the group on site and gave a great overview to the company and operations. Production Manager Clinton Elmer gave the candidates and Nudges Aboriginal mentor Ralph Mogridge a great site tour of one of the bridge beams under construction.
All candidates were interviewed by Delta Corporation shortly after the WRT was completed, with Clinton adding ” They have all commented on how good the training sessions were for them and that they can’t wait to jump in and give it a go. All came through looking well-presented and prepared for the interview”.
Nudge is very excited to support Delta and the apprentices over the next 24 months once the successful candidates have commenced. Congratulations to all involved.
