Trade training boost for Warwick region


Warwick State High School, Allora P-10 State School, Clifton State High School and Killarney State School students are set to benefit from a new $3.5 million Federal Government investment in trade training, Federal Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott said this week.
Mr Scott said the new project, the Warwick Trade Training Centre, would be mainly based at Warwick State High School but would also support students from Allora, Clifton and Killarney.
“The federal funding will include the construction of an industrial workshop and an industrial shed, the refurbishment of an existing facility to include an engineering workshop, as well as providing equipment across the schools,” he said.
“The Trade Training Centre will deliver Certificate I and II qualifications in agriculture, engineering and manufacturing and also Certificate II qualifications in Sampling and Measuring.
“With the Warwick region located on the cusp of the Surat Basin Energy Province, these Certificates and facilities will help more local students find employment in skills areas identified by the resources sector.”
