Building Trades - VETDSS

If you like to be hands-on, keep fit, work indoors and outdoors, and learn a skill that could take you all over Australia – then a building trade is ideal.

Whether you're drawn to carpentry, electrical work, plumbing, or furniture making, each trade offers its own exciting possibilities. 

Imagine constructing structures with your carpentry skills, transforming raw materials into functional and beautiful creations. In the electrical trade, you'll have the power to connect wiring, bringing light and energy to homes and buildings. As a plumber, you'll ensure that water systems flow smoothly and keep communities running smoothly. And in furniture making, you can let your imagination run wild, crafting unique and practical pieces from wood. 

These programs are a proven pathway to securing an apprenticeship and a great way to try out a trade. It's time to roll up your sleeves, grab your tools, and start an exciting journey!
