Council welcomes 16 apprentices and trainees for 2023 intake
Gladstone Regional Council (GRC) has welcomed 16 enthusiastic apprentices and trainees for its 2023 intake at an induction ceremony held on Monday 6 February at the Boyne Tannum Community Centre.
The 16 apprentices and trainees consist of:
- Certificate III Business Administration (11 roles)
- Certificate III Parks and Gardens
- Certificate III Waste Management
- Certificate III Plumbing
- Certificate III ICT
- Certificate III Events.
These recruits will fill roles at locations across the region including Agnes Water, Benaraby, Calliope and Gladstone.
Gladstone Region Mayor Matt Burnett said it was exciting for Council to welcome the 2023 apprentice and trainee intake.
“It’s fantastic to see so many new faces join an organisation that is committed to delivering outstanding service to the community,” Councillor Burnett said.
“Council is proud to serve more than 63,000 residents across 10,489 square kilometres so it’s great to see roles have been filled in a variety of different locations within the region.
“I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to apply and wish the successful applicants the best of luck on their GRC journey.”
Council’s 2023 apprentices and trainee intake has been assisted by the First Start program under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative.
First Start provides wage subsidies to local councils and community-based organisations to employ additional trainees.
The program offers opportunities to young people and disadvantaged job seekers to gain nationally recognised qualifications and 12 months employment by undertaking a traineeship or longer for apprenticeships.
First Start is one of seven programs that make up the Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work initiative.
