There is no substitute for hard work.– Thomas Edison

Building & Plumbing

a weLL BuiLt iNDuStryLow interest rates and rising consumer and business con� dence bode well for the future of the construction industry. The number of jobs is expected to be above average in the next 5 years with employment projected to climb to 1.06 million people in 331,000 enterprises and generate $344 billion in revenue.

With roles in construction management attracting a weekly wage of $1,698, the future is very bright for construction ‘tradies’.

(Source: IBIS World Construction Market Research Report, joboutlook.gov.au)

Imagine looking up at one of the most impressive structures on Sydney’s skyline and knowing you were part of the construction team that built it. The building is a stunning, state-of-the-art construction that utilises the very latest in eco-friendly materials and cutting edge technology. Or maybe you’ve set up your own building company where you work with architects on residential projects. You are effectively building people’s dreams – the homes they’ve always wanted to live in.

Whether you work in the domestic or corporate sector, you have a sought after set of skills that are transportable. Today you could be working on a site in downtown Sydney and next month you could be hired by an international construction company for project work on the latest 10-star hotel in Dubai.

The Northern Sydney Institute offers a widely recognised range of courses for the building and construction industries. From communication and basic building skills to management training and building regulation coursework.

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.- Alexander Graham Bell

Electrotechnology

A poWerFul induStry

With an upswing in demand from the housing and commercial building markets, the Electrical Service industry is forecast to increase at the rate of 2.4% over 2015-20. Industry revenue is expected to reach a record of $21.6 billion. It is expected to reach a record of $43.4 billion in 2018-19!

The statistics speak for themselves – these industries show no signs of slowing down and the demand for talented, skilled professionals will only increase.

(Source: IBIS world Electrical Services Market Research Report)

Imagine you’re behind the wheel of a van with your name on the side, heading out to your fi rst electrical contract of the day. You run a successful small business and employ fi ve other electricians who service all of Sydney. Within six months you plan to hire another two employees to meet the demand of your current clients. You’ve come a long way since the days of tinkering with remote control cars as a teenager!

Or perhaps your passion for telecommunication technology has taken you overseas working as a senior technician for one of the big North American carriers.

Imagine looking out across a vast harbour, the sun blazing overhead. You’re standing on the deck of the Watson’s Bay Ferry. This is your offi ce. You are the Captain and today, like every day, you are running tourists and workers across the most beautiful harbour in the world. As the wind picks up and the swell rises, it requires all your skill to make sure their journey is safe and memorable only for the views.

Or perhaps you work behind the scenes, repairing and maintaining huge maritime engines, or below deck, driving the engines that propel ships across our oceans. Maybe you’re the one that built the boat. The one thing you all have in common is a love for the sea and all things that fl oat, steam and power across it.

nsi.edu.au/recognition

APPLY FOR RECOGNITION AND YOU COULD FINISH YOUR COURSE SOONERPrevious study, experience at work or even volunteering in the community can all count towards recognition of prior learning (RPL). TAFE NSW has a process of assessing RPL and as a student of the Northern Sydney Institute, you can apply for RPL in as many units as you like (fees will apply).

The process includes providing evidence of your experience plus an interview with a trained assessor. Depending on what evidence you have, the assessor might also suggest an activity such as a challenge test or a workplace observation to give you a chance to show us what you can do.

If you are found to be eligible for recognition for a unit of competency then the rest is easy, you’ll automatically get a pass for that subject.

Keep recognition in mind when you enrol. The sooner we know about it the better, preferably within the first three weeks of enrolment.
