General Construction

Well it can't be all that bad news with this kind of sign! "We love our tradies look at our great building" spotted by a NAWIC member (thanks Laurice) who was passing Ringwood's Kalinda Primary School. The school had received funds as part of the economic stimulus package. Nice to see the school so publically thanking the guys and girls who make it happen 'on the ground'.

This month, we are profiling the building and construction role of ... carpenter. Carpentry is a very popular job in the industry and young people are attracted to it because it is seen as the starting point to becoming a registered builder. Being a carpenter enables you to work on large commercial projects in the city right through to running your own business in the suburbs.
