Drivers Licence Support Program

Construction Training Fund’s $1.26 million Driver’s Licence Training Support Program gives students the opportunity to obtain a driver’s licence while ensuring apprentices entering the construction workforce are job ready.

The initiative is open to Year 11 and 12 students in the CTF Scholarship Program, to supplement their pre-apprenticeship training.

One of the barriers for youth accessing employment opportunities in construction is the lack of a current and valid driver’s licence. 

A driver’s licence is a key requirement for many construction roles, therefore the program aims to assist young people in accessing support to obtain a driver’s license.

The pilot program, run in conjunction with Driver Risk Management (DRM), helps participants to gain a valid WA driver’s licence as well as other driving and vehicle care skills needed for work in the building and construction industry.

Specialised training for driving in a construction environment, such as towing, safe management of vehicle loads, vehicle maintenance and driving in the sand will be part of the program. This will assist young people to develop awareness and skills in road safety and vehicle management.
