The CVIAQ is currently finalising its proposal to submit to the Department of Employment and Training showing industry requirements for the new trade training facility to be built at Acacia Ridge.

The CVIAQ has used data from the CVIAQ/TIC Paper Trucks to Meet the Future Road Freight Task and from the Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics to forecast industry and apprentice growth through to the year 2020.

The Working Group from the CVIAQ Service Managers Council in conjunction with representatives from the CVIAQ Manufacturers Council has investigated the infrastructure requirements for a new institute able to train apprentices in sufficient numbers to meet industry needs through to 2020.

With the opportunity to pre plan and custom build the entire facility this is a great chance to finally have a state of the art training centre for trade apprentices.

The CVIAQ proposal will feature an open plan environment with space for future expansion and purpose built resources.

The CVIAQ is also calling on manufacturers and suppliers to support the new institute. Interested companies are encouraged to contact Brett Wright on (07) 3876 7733 or email b.wright@cviaq.asn.au
