Traineeships
Transport Forum and Traineeships
For many years there has been no assistance available for the skilling of workers operating within the Logistics field. The Federal government has made funding available to employers to provide training to existing workers (employed longer than 3 months) and gain Nationally accredited qualifications (Certificate II & III in a recognised stream, e.g. Warehousing and Storage). Training is also available to new employees through State Based traineeships.
Transport Forum WA can offer a range of accredited training in the Transport and Distribution industry. This includes Warehouse and Storage, Road Transport and Transport Logistics (Administration) to Certificate III.
Why You Should Choose The Transport Forum Training Model
In a standard program you would have to deal with several stakeholders, Transport Forum takes the hassle out of this and does it for you.
If you have a problem with training issues you can call Transport Forum. If you have a problem with the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Support Network you call Transport Forum.
Transport Forum will liaise with all stakeholders and on those occasions when a stakeholder will be required to come on site, TFWA will be there with you to deal with any issues. Throughout the period of the traineeship Transport Forum will organise and submit the entire administrative requirements, including documents, required by the legislative bodies.
TFWA will ensure that the training is completed in accordance with what you NEED and EXPECT.
