I am very proud of TAFE Gippsland’s long standing partnership with the FTAA. They are only too happy to promote trade training and encourage the employment of apprentices to grow our industry.

Since I’ve been a part of FTAA, it’s been a massive help. The best thing I get from the Association is the day-to-day support. I know I can call up if I have a question on anything to do with paying my guys or superannuation or legal ramifications and terms and conditions.
