Apprentice Funding

CTF helps WA apprentices in the construction industry complete their training through funding and support programs.

Support for apprentices and trainees

Keen to land a job in the building and construction industry? Gain the skills you need for an exciting and secure career in construction. An apprenticeship or traineeship allows you to mix work and training for a nationally recognised qualification. Earn while you learn, gain a stronger understanding of the construction industry and become a qualified professional in as little as two to four years of full-time work.

 

Discover how CTF can support you on your construction journey with our funding programs.
