Isaac Regional Council elected representatives welcome the 14 new trainees and apprentices.
Open arms for new recruits Isaac Regional Council has welcomed its largest ever intake of trainees and apprentices, with 14 new recruits added to the fold. The successful candidates were selected from an impressive 271 applications. Located in Clermont, Dysart, Middlemount and Moranbah the recruits will cover nine different industries - business administration, horticulture, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, plant operations, water and sewerage and libraries. Mayor Anne Baker said Council was excited to welcome the next generation of local government. “Over the next one to four years they will gain skills, experience and a nationally recognised qualification,” she said.
“As an equal opportunity employer it’s great to have two women joining us in carpentry and civil construction.” Deputy Mayor, Geoff Bethel welcomed the new starters and highlighted the benefits of working for Council. “One of the great things about working for local government is the opportunity to help shape communities and impact lives,” he said. “Our trainees and apprentices will contribute to making Isaac a better place to live, work and play.” This year sees an increase to Council’s intake of trainees and apprentices due to a subsidy boost from the Queensland Government’s Skilling Queenslander’s For Work First Start Program.
