The ‘Caboolture Civil Skills Project’ (CSC) is a jointly funded initiative of the Queensland Governments Department of Employment & Industrial Relations (DEIR), Skills Tech Australia (STA), and CADET Group Australia.
CSC is fully supported with training, training material and personal protective clothing provided at no cost to participants. The aim of CSC is to provide an opportunity for over 40 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 skills required to be ‘job ready’.
During the 2009 year CSC will recruit and train job seekers from non-traditional labour sources such as disadvantaged youth, mature-age people, and the long-term unemployed, including Indigenous Australians, ex offenders and migrant Australian’s for jobs in the Civil Infrastructure Industry.
Along with our Industry Partners CSC is committed to providing jobs for all participants who demonstrate the necessary attributes and skills to work in the Civil Infrastructure Industry
The CSC Project
