Great meeting with the team at GCTC yesterday and learning more about what they’re doing to support the next generation of skilled tradespeople 👷🏽
With their new campus opening in Ipswich, it’s exciting to see more opportunities being created for young people in the Ipswich and surrounding regions to get into the trades and build a career in construction and automotive ⚒️
The trades are such an important part of Australia’s future and initiatives like this are helping make training and career pathways more accessible to the local community.
Looking forward to seeing the Ipswich campus grow and the impact it will have on the local industry 👏🏼

If you’re lucky enough to drop past the ICYS stall, you’ll understand why these two are wellbeing legends at ICYS 🤙🏽
