Minister visit with JS BUILD

Housing Minister Nick Champion recently paid a visit to Scott, the proud owner of Host JS Build, along with his diligent and newly graduated carpentry apprentice, Oli. The Minister took the opportunity to emphasise the immense significance of the South Australia (SA) Housing Trust employment pathways program, which serves as a crucial platform for providing training opportunities to individuals with aspirations of embarking on careers in house construction, mirroring Oli’s own chosen career path.

We are thrilled to express our heartfelt congratulations to Oli Zammit for reaching the incredible milestone of becoming the first apprentice to successfully finish his training as part of the Housing Trust’s Employment Pathway Program. We also want to extend a special note of gratitude to our esteemed host, Scott from JS Build, for providing exceptional mentorship and training to Oli. Thanks to Scott’s outstanding guidance, Oli is now fully equipped to pursue a career as a qualified carpenter.

The SA housing project stands as a powerful and effective response to the prevalent skill shortages in the building industry. By means of government funding, businesses are empowered to invest in apprenticeship programs, thereby making substantial and meaningful contributions to the community. This strategic initiative not only fortifies the housing sector, but also plays a pivotal role in addressing the housing crisis, offering hope for a brighter future by nurturing the skilled tradespeople essential for constructing homes.
