Ian Douglas

“During the last 6 years, it has been my pleasure to deal with the CFMEU Apprentice training unit when sourcing apprentice carpenters for our workforce.”
Tony Dorotic
Operations Manager I&D Group Pty Ltd
“I have worked in numerous positions and have been involved in the construction industry for the past 20 years. From the inception of the CFMEU: apprentice education and training unit, I have employed apprentices from the actual school and training program. Over the past 6 years I’ve employed directly about 15 apprentices and since then they have gone on to complete their time with me and currently, I have 6 apprentices directly employed from the actual unit. All the apprentices are ready for the work in the commercial construction industry and come prepared for work. The actual training and the facility of the training unit and the courses conducted prepares the apprentice in an excellent manner.”
Tony JURIC
Director of Building Adcon Vic Pty Ltd
“Throughout my 35-year career in Melbourne's construction industry I have worked with many apprentices from a range of different training providers and without doubt the most successful relationship I have had is with the CFMEU's programs. I believe that the CFMEU Education and Training Unit carries with it a level of pragmatism that most other training providers do not in relation to choosing and then educating their apprentices and I truly believe this helps in making sure that everyone is as "job ready" as they can be.”
Bernie Nolan
Team Leader Hutchinson Builders
“I’m very happy with your support and the quality of the apprentices that we’ve received from the CFMEU’s training centre over the last 5 years have been of a very high standard and have turned out to be some of our most skilled employees. All of them are still employed by civil infrastructure group and we hope to see many more.”
Vince Fahy
Director Civil infrastructure group
