One of the greatest challenges our industry faces is meeting the current and emerging skills needed to deliver Australia and New Zealand’s infrastructure pipeline.
As a leading contractor, we have a responsibility to support a whole-of-industry response and we’re proud to be making bold moves to modernise our industry.
Building Capacity
Throughout delivery lifecycle, our projects employ thousands of people to deliver the essential infrastructure that is central to Australia and New Zealand’s economic future. Whether helping people move or connecting cities to renewable energy, every project is designed to positively shape people’s lives today, tomorrow and beyond.
Our innovative industry partnerships create sustainable pathways, modernise our workplaces, improve inclusivity, enhance industry culture and shift public perception of our whole sector as an employer.
Enhancing Capability
At the heart of our efforts to build a sustainable future for our industry is our objective to positively influence our industry’s capability, making real-world, job-ready skills accessible and attainable for all.
As one of Australia’s largest contractors, we're supporting our industry to tackle its biggest challenges to prepare for the next infrastructure boom. We have a long-standing commitment to skills development through our projects and initiatives like the Institute of Applied Technology – Construction.
We're focused on creating multiple training pathways and employment opportunities beyond the traditional to encourage newcomers, support upskilling and reskilling and make a career in construction attractive for all people.
Strengthening Diversity
CPB Contractors is committed to creating a more inclusive industry that embraces diversity. By prioritising diversity and inclusivity, we’re breaking down barriers and supporting fulfilling and sustainable careers.
By addressing challenges in skills shortages, employment diversity, and supply chain capacity, CPB Contractors is inspiring future talent and leaving a skills legacy.
Drawing on our company’s history and the expertise of our people, we are well positioned to lead a new era of training, learning and development for the construction workforce.
Bold initiatives that seek to create a positive step-change, such as our foundational industry partnership with Institute of Applied Technology – Construction alongside expert educators TAFE NSW and Western Sydney University, are opportunities designed to create new career paths into construction.
We love what we do, and the sustainability and future success of our industry relies on making a career in construction more attainable, accessible and attractive for future generations.
This and many more initiatives are creating new pathways into construction and expanding our industry’s capacity to respond to Australia's evolving infrastructure pipeline.
