Construction Training Fund is creating a skilled and sustainable workforce for the Western Australian building and construction industry. We collect a training levy and use it to reduce the cost of training a diverse, job-ready workforce and educate the next generation about the variety of exciting roles and opportunities on offer in our industry.
CTF has introduced a Disaster Recovery Construction Training Grant to support communities impacted by the Wooroloo bushfires and Cyclone Seroja.
Employers, working in the affected regions can claim a grant of up to $6,000, with an extra $2,000 available to apprentices and trainees. We also offer a rebate of up to $2,000 on short courses recognised in the current Upskilling and Short Course Funding Program to eligible workers.
Construction Training Fund supports employers of apprentices and trainees, and mid-career training for WA’s construction and building workforce to update their work, industry and software skills, gain occupational licensing and complete Occupational Health & Safety short courses.
Construction Training Fund uses the CTF Portal to collect a training levy which is 0.2 per cent on all projects valued at more than $20,000. WA’s building and construction industry uses the CTF Portal to pay the levy and to make claims for money back to offset the cost of training.
The Construction Training Fund acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land throughout Western Australia and pay our respect to the Elders both past and present. We thank them for their ongoing custodianship of the lands and waters, and celebrate their rich culture of art, song, dance, language, and stories.
