eInstitute & CSQ upskilling partnership.                 

Objective:
To offer up to 20 fully funded places in two nationally recognised qualifications developed in partnership with eInstitute RTO 41463:

  • Certificate IV in Project Management Practice; and
  • Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety
It is widely known that skills development underpins economic prosperity and enables inclusive growth.
It is anticipated this partnership will improve economic security for women in construction by providing each participant with a nationally accredited qualification, increasing skills and knowledge, career options, work choices and earning potential.
The qualifications have been carefully contextualised to develop employability skills aimed at improving women’s capability and suitability for higher level positions within the construction industry.
 

Funding:

  •  CSQ will fund up to $2,825 towards each eligible participant's course fees. The eInstitute has contributed the remaining course fees for each participant, meaning that there are no out of pocket costs for the participants.
