Aptella has been recognised as the leading Employer of the Year for Apprenticeships in the industry by TAFE Queensland
Technology solutions provider Aptella has announced that it has been recognised as the Apprentice Employer of the Year by TAFE Queensland.
Aptella says the award results from the creation of a customised National Field Apprenticeship Program that aims to grow and support new field technicians in the industry.
“This program reflects our dedication and commitment to nurturing talent, advancing skill development, and empowering the next generation of industry experts through impactful and meaningful learning experiences,” Aptella executive manager people and culture Bernadette Taoro Ashin.
“If we want to continue to create the very best experiences for our customers this is a crucial part of that. By supporting and training upcoming field technicians we are investing our time and expertise back into our industry and that’s the right thing to do.”
The unique apprenticeship program, co-created with TAFE Queensland, aims to teach targeted skills to future technicians, including high precision machine control technology on heavy earthmoving equipment.
“We want to ensure our field technicians are the best of the best and they have the knowledge base to make them the most sought after in the industry,” Taoro Ashin says.
“As part of the program we recruited our leading field managers and senior technicians who dedicated their time and expertise to creating and delivering these apprenticeships.”
Aptella has six apprentices enrolled in the course, who are employed across all major cities in Australia. The training program incorporates a mix of online, face-to-face and on-site learning.
“We’re so honoured to have been recognised with this award. We hope to launch the second version of this programme early next year, incorporating automation as part of the training,” Taoro Ashin says.
