Introducing the Set for Success Apprentice, Trainee, and Employer Mentoring & Support Pilot Program

We are excited to announce the launch of the Set for Success Apprentice, Trainee, and Employer Mentoring & Support pilot program – a pioneering initiative in the wet trades sector. This program marks a significant step in our commitment to providing holistic support for apprentices, addressing both their professional and personal well-being. We’re dedicated to helping apprentices overcome challenges and thrive in their careers.

Meet Our Program Team

We are thrilled to welcome Dayna, our new Program Lead, and congratulate John on his mentorship role. Dayna, a mental health social worker, will be offering 1:1 counseling and support to apprentices, ensuring they have access to the mental health resources they need. To further reinforce our commitment to a supportive environment, we’ve also trained our staff in mental health first aid, creating a psychologically safe workplace for everyone. With this comprehensive support, apprentices can focus on their growth without the burden of external stressors.

Building on Our Strong Foundation

This initiative highlights the National Institute of Construction Skills' (NICS) capacity to provide exceptional support services and training experiences. We ensure that apprentices not only receive hands-on industry experience but are also prepared for a long-term, successful career in the construction industry.

Collaboration for a Stronger Industry

In alignment with our new group training organization, Wettrade Apprenticeships (WTA), we’re proud to collaborate with Master Painters Australia Queensland (MPA Qld). Together, we’re committed to cultivating a thriving, professional painting industry and supporting the growth of a skilled workforce.

Supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

Our model is tailored to benefit SMEs, offering essential assistance with apprentice employment and training. This support system allows businesses to focus on growth, knowing that their apprentices are receiving the best training and care available.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of the Trades Industry

We invite you to join us in supporting the next generation of trade professionals. By working together, we can create a brighter, more successful future for the construction industry.
