Bric Housing’s Post

Yesterday Nigel & I made it out to visit the Cert 1 in Construction students who Aussie Painters Network, in partnership with MEGT (Australia) Ltd, is delivering a project for with Bric Housing, under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work Program. This project is providing quality training opportunities for some excellent First Nations candidates, while they spruce up some local units that form part of Bric Housing's 200 properties, made available to those in greatest need.     The girls are leading the way on this site, with their commitment and attitude! Discussing future plans with them, it was easy to see how keen they are. Stacey, Billie, Kristen and Bailey, it was fantastic to meet you all. We will see you again soon to celebrate your completion and begin the search for the employers who will be bloody lucky to have you!   Bric Housing is the fifth largest Community Housing Provider in Queensland providing homes for over 900 tenants.  I’m so proud to be helping to support such important work, both in creating career pathways into construction, as well as helping to maintain these properties with Bric. Housing is under such enormous pressure and its our most vulnerable who are put at greatest risk. Creating safe homes and promising futures is a win for everyone. Great job in training, Steve Austin. Women in Painting Aussie Painters Network #paintingapprenticeships
