S2 Ep 11: Celebrating Training
For the latest F&T Time episode we’re looking into the importance of education and training for the timber, frame and truss sector – a topic that is particularly important for us at FTMA, given our drive and pursuits to deliver courses, to help address the under employment that we are all experiencing, and encourage skilled people into our wonderful industry.
We are joined by NTHA Senior Trainer and Assessor, Colin Taranto – an inspiring and dedicated man, who has contributed greatly by paving the way for those coming into it. With nearly 40 years in the timber sector, Colin has recently been awarded VET Trainer of the Year, in the NSW training awards. He was also a finalist for this year’s Australian VET Trainer of the Year. A truly magnificent achievement and testament for what he’s contributing to education, and our future.
For members of FTMA who wish to participate in training, or have employees they would like to enrol, please reach out to us for assistance. Those interested can also directly contact Colin Taranto via email at colin.t@ntha.edu.au. The training conducted by Registered Training Organisations (RTOs), NTHA and Timber Training Creswick, is accessible and comprehensive, tailored to the needs of the timber industry.
We encourage members to seize this opportunity for continuous learning and development in the field of timber systems design and manufacturing and contact either us, or one of the two RTO’s now to enrol your trainees.
