New TAFE Queensland RV Apprenticeships
One year on from TAFE Queensland’s introduction of two new recreational vehicle apprenticeship courses with brand new purpose-built facilities, Queensland heavyweights of the recreational vehicle industry are benefitting greatly from upskilling their workforce.
Caravan Repair Centre is one of the largest employers in the South-East Queensland recreational vehicle repair sector and currently has five employees enrolled in the Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Service and Repair (MSM31015) at TAFE Queensland.
This is in addition to three workers who have already graduated the course through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in the past year.
Company Director, Renee Flynn, praised TAFE Queensland for its ability to work with industry and design courses to help the booming recreational vehicle industry continue to flourish in Queensland for years to come.
“The industry really needed to have a standard across the board and have that quality assurance for consumers that we’ve actually got an industry supported qualification and industry standards in manufacturing and repairs,” Ms Flynn said.
As a major player in the recreational vehicle industry located on the Sunshine Coast, Caravan Repair Centre carries out a wide variety of work outside of caravans and believe that it can continue to grow its customer base by enrolling staff in the new TAFE Queensland apprenticeships.
The hope is that other members of the industry take on apprentices in the new qualifications to bring a high standard to the industry state-wide. For more information about apprenticeships and trade training. Visit their official website for more information.
