Lendlease and TAFE Enterprise – building a unique, lasting relationship
As part of their commitment to leaving a positive legacy, Lendlease saw an opportunity to offer onsite skilling and training to construction workers ranging from apprentices through to mature-aged workers.
Challenges
Lendlease wanted their workforce at Barangaroo to be green-skilled in renewable energy, sustainable materials, energy efficiency, green buildings, sustainable water systems and waste recycling, as well as offering fit-for-purpose training that addressed skills gaps.
TAFE Enterprise delivered
Because we understood Lendlease's desire to leave a lasting legacy, and because we listened to their needs, we:
- Worked with Lendlease to develop a world class social sustainability value proposition;
- Developed the Barangaroo Skills Exchange (BSX) project for the Barangaroo South urban regeneration project;
- Built an onsite training facility, including a ‘drop in’ Foundation Skills environment;
- Helped map genuine career paths in the construction industry that will lead to life-long learning, education and economic engagement to benefit the sector more broadly.
