Central TAFE and the Master Builders Association have joined forces to foster new training opportunities and enhance the skill profile of the Western Australian building industry.
The two parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which covers a commitment to collaborate on delivering high quality vocational education and training to the industry.
Formed in 1898, the Master Builders Association of Western Australia (MBAWA) is a leading employer association in the building and construction industry. MBAWA is part of Australia's oldest industry association, Master Builders Australia.
Recognising the specialist skills of both organisations, the collaboration aims to develop new training programs that are specifically tailored to ever evolving industry requirements.
Both parties have agreed to promote each other’s capabilities and work in unison in forums and activities to increase industry awareness of the benefits of training.
Master Builders Association Executive Director Michael McLean believes Central TAFE is the right match for them, sharing common goals.
“Central TAFE share Master Builders’ vision that the building and construction industry deserves a first class range of training courses tailored to the needs of builders and specialist contractors,” said Mr McLean.
“Entering into a strategic alliance with Central TAFE will complement the Association’s training program perfectly.”
In addition to promoting learning opportunities for building industry students, the five year MOU will include support of scholarships and exchange programs.
