Construction Training Fund (CTF) supports the construction industry and the WA community through sponsorship of relevant training awards, activities and events that provide opportunities for CTF to reach its key audiences and inform them about CTF programs and the benefits of a career in construction.
CTF’s sponsorship policy is designed to ensure every sponsorship we commit to aligns with our values, vision, mission and strategic initiatives, and that all construction sectors are able to receive sponsorship support from CTF.
If you are managing an event or initiative that will assist CTF in communicating its key messages to wide range of demographics, and provides value for money via in-kind marketing benefits, find out more about our Sponsorship application process below.
Types of Sponsorship
Awards For Excellence
CTF acknowledges the outstanding commitment and achievements of WA construction apprentices, trainees and trainers by providing funding support to eligible organisations who hold events that reward and recognise award winners.
How exactly does Award for Excellence funding work?
CTF will provide $5000 in funding per year to eligible organisations, of which a minimum of $1000 must be distributed by the organisation as prizing for award winners, as a form of financial support to the winners from CTF. The remainder of the $5000 in funding can be used by the organisation for event running costs and administration.
Our Awards for Excellence program supports events such as Apprentice Award Nights and Graduation events, typically run by Group Training Organisations, Registered Training Organisations and Membership Organisations. However, we encourage all eligible organisations (see clause 1.1 of the Terms & Conditions) to apply.
