Civil Skills - Sunshine Coast


Training for the civil construction industry

 

 

Focused on providing local jobs for local people, STEPS’ Civil Skills Project (SCSP) is a partnership between STEPS, Sunshine Coast TAFE and industry partners.

 

The aim of SCSP is to provide an opportunity for over 160 job seekers to secure jobs in the civil construction industry by offering them training specifically identified by the civil industry as providing the minimum set of skill required to be ‘job ready’.

 

SCSP is fully supported with training, training material, personal protective clothing and transport provided at no cost to participants.

 

SCSP is a funded initiative of the Federal Government’s Jobs Fund ‘Get Communities Working’ initiative. The project has been developed in response to the Government’s $18 billion investment in infrastructure, and the forecasted demand for over 3000 additional skilled workers based on $500 million earmarked for investment into infrastructure in the Sunshine Coast region.

 

The CSSC Project comprises three stages:

 

Stage 1 - Skills Preparation

  • Supported training delivered by TAFE Sunshine Coast and CADET trainers, experienced in preparing job seekers for industry skills training.
  • Assessment of skills levels and work barriers
  • Individual case plans
