Welcome to the Expo
Welcome message from Minister for Education and Training
Making quality training accessible to all Western Australians is a core
focus of the McGowan Labor Government, and due to our significant
investment we are training like never before.
Quality jobs are being created in the State each day, and the high
demand for skilled workers is providing new and exciting pathways for
job seekers and career changers.
Our Government has been working hard to help Western Australians
make the most of these opportunities by offering affordable training for
industries where there are jobs in demand.
Through our "Lower fees, local skills" initiative, we have slashed course
fees for 180 vocational education and training qualifications by up to 72
per cent.
The results are clear. More than 78,000 students are in vocational
education and training courses in Western Australia right now, a 25 per
cent increase compared to last year.
In addition, we are currently undergoing the biggest TAFE capital works program in Western Australian
history which is improving campuses all across WA.
The State Government believes in quality and affordable training and is a proud supporter of the
SkillsWest Careers & Employment Expo and the 2021 WorldSkills Australia National Championships.
The SkillsWest Expo is a great reminder of our training system’s important end-goal to help Western
Australians find employment and make their dream careers a reality.
Staff from the Jobs and Skills Centres and TAFE colleges will be on-hand to provide training information,
including on apprenticeships and traineeships, or you can find out more at www.jobsandskills.wa.gov.au.
We are also preparing for the WorldSkills Australia National Championships and Skills Show which will
further showcase the quality courses and skills training available.
It has never been easier to get a qualification in Western Australia and if you are looking for some career
inspiration the SkillsWest Expo may just provide it.
Hon. Sue Ellery MLC
Minister for Education and Training

What it’s like to have a Career in Construction
The Persistence Pathway Pays Off.
Jonty and Cheyenne, both 18, are making significant inroads into
their careers in construction after graduating from the Motivation
Civil & Mining Academy.
Jonty is a trainee at civil mining and underground contractor at
Cape and has tickets to drive and operate a roller, a water cart,
a loader and an excavator, while Cheyenne is a trainee at Boral,
working as a scheduler, booking in trucks, and ordering aggregate
and bitumen for road projects.
Both women are already smashing their career goals and earning
good money, but like most, their journeys so far have not been
without challenges and obstacles to overcome.
Jonty, who was born with Cerebral palsy and has limited use of her
right arm, says with braces and small modifications, she’s been
able to safely use equipment and she feels empowered by her
ability to solve problems.
“I can do everything you can do, I just have to add a few more
steps,” Jonty says, adding that she feels supported in her new role
to speak up and ask for the modifications she needs to do her job
safely. If I see a problem, I don’t see it as a failure, I work around
it to find a solution. I never thought when I finished school I’d be

are struggling at school to consider a career in civil construction.
“Know your limits, find ways to work around an issue and challenge “The trainers always made me feel like I could do things,” she
yourself,” she says. “For kids not doing well at mainstream studies, says. “That motivated me to try harder at school. There was always
a push to get better, lots of encouragement.”
I would recommend this as a pathway to a great career and a
successful future.” Cheyenne says civil construction can feel a bit overwhelming, but
she loves her job and earning money. She would have no hesitation
in recommending civil construction to others, including girls, and
says persistence is crucial.
“I’d say, make sure when you get on a pathway, stick with it, don’t
give up,” Cheyenne says. “A lot of people give up. My parents
have encouraged me to keep striving, to keep trying even if I get
knocked back. Things won’t always work out but try again.”
Construction Training Fund funds training places at Motivation
Foundation, which offers secondary students from diverse
backgrounds an opportunity to transition from school to work. The
program ensures participants get the training and skills they need,
including becoming job ready, while the program coaches, mentors
and connects young people with future employers.
