Training
Woden Contractors is committed to the construction industry for the long haul. We are one of the few local civil contractors with a demonstrated extensive history in the training of young plant operators and diesel mechanics. We recognise that there is a shortage of skilled operators within the industry and not enough contractors have the funds, the time or the knowledge base to devote to field-based training.
The Master Builders Association has said that:
“All Woden Contractors apprentices are trained to the highest standard. Passionately supported onsite by supervisors and plant operators, they are not only given the opportunity to acquire essential hand/plant operating skills but develop a sound understanding of the Civil Construction Industry.”
In 2019, Vince Ball from the Construction Industry Training Council (CITC) remarked:
“In my role as Executive Director of the ACT Regional Building and Construction Industry Training Council I have had the opportunity to engage with and work with Woden Contractors over the past 18 years. During this time, Woden Contractors has always been the first organisation that I have relied on to support its industry School and Community based programs and also an organisation that I have referred to as best practice in its training and professional development for its own people. The contribution that your organisation has made and continues to make for the broader construction and civil sectors of the industry is worthy of recognition.”
