Congratulations to 52 Water Operations (Civil) Graduates from Allconnex
Date: 29-Jun-2017
Fifty-two Allconnex employees from Logan, Gold Coast and Redlands celebrated the completion of their Certificate II or Certificate III in Water Operations (Civil) at a graduation ceremony held at the Beenleigh Events Centre on Tuesday, 29 May 2012.
The group’s nationally recognised qualifications were funded by Skills Queensland as part of the Queensland Government User Choice Traineeship Program.
These graduates now join a group of almost 200 participants to complete the program across Queensland since its introduction in 2009.
The Water Operations – Civil program was developed as a collaboration between government, industry and training providers to help retain staff and improve future opportunities for workers through industry specific training. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) was emphasised in the program and associated gap training was provided in areas where participants could not demonstrate current competency.
Chisholm TAFE, who provided the training for all 52 participants, noted that the high level of experience and skills that the participants had gained through their years of employment was evident, and recognising that in the program has helped the participants to further their skills, broaden their career paths and offer opportunities for promotion and professional development.
qldwater CEO Dave Cameron congratulated the participants on gaining their Certificates while still maintaining a day job and the strategic importance of the qualification.
“Not only are these staff getting their skills formally recognised through national, portable qualifications, the involvement of Allconnex and other South-East Queensland utilities has been strategically crucial in attracting state and federal investment for the benefit of the Queensland water industry as a whole.”
