Carpentry Centre of Excellence Media Day

We were honoured to welcome Blair Boyer MP, Minister for Education, Training and Skills, and Cameron Baker, the South Australian Skills Commissioner, to our Lonsdale Skills Centre!

Their visit came at an ideal time, coinciding with the announcement of new equipment and capital grants—up to $250,000 is now available for eligible training organisations to enhance their facilities.

During their tour, they observed our third-year carpentry apprentices hard at work and shared in the excitement of our progress toward ATEC’s Carpentry Centre of Excellence. This upcoming facility promises to be a significant addition to the SA construction industry, and both Minister Boyer and Commissioner Baker were eager to see the future site in person.

We’re deeply grateful for the South Australian government’s support and look forward to expanding our carpentry training capabilities soon!
