Trade skills needed for the future Future opportunities in advanced manufacturing will rely on skills found in traditional trades such as plumbing, welding, electrical, mechanical and sheet metal. While trades may include work down the more conventional route, trades such as plumbing can lead to work in medical gas, refrigeration, air-conditioning, solar hot water and high- pressure gas. Students who cross train in skills such as robotics, 3D printing, computer design and drafting will position themselves well for the jobs of the future. With a potential skills shortage on the horizon employers as looking for employees with hands on experience and the X factor, to help you grow along with their business.

Rob assisting Tom with the next part of the project Structured Workplace Learning The SCTTTC started Term 2 with students working online for the first 3 weeks with their trainers due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Ahead with online theory and with a reduction of restrictions in week 4, students returned to the SCTTTC to undertake a range of practical tasks in the workshop; a positive from the pandemic situation we have been experiencing! Throughout the term the SCTTTC continued to advocate physical distancing measures, along with personal hygiene across our classes. Having this strong health policy in class and the workshop will lead to all students being able to get the education they deserve. Thank you to our school, family and industry supporters during this time as we look forward to Term 3!

Newsletter - June 2020
Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) placements were
impacted heavily by Covid-19 restrictions in April, along with
a slight downward trend in work overall in industry.
However this didn’t stop students from pushing for
experience across the Sunshine Coast. With all parties
happy to go ahead students completed placements from
Brisbane, to Reesville to Cooroy.

gained important skills in communication, and the ability to

as much as possible from their providers.
The final SWL block for the year is September 21 to October
2, 2020, so if you are a provider looking to give someone a
work placement opportunity, please let Brant Echlin know by
