Great to see Ethan Everett, the Cement Australia supported WorldSkills contestant on Sunrise showing his bricklaying skills. Ethan will be heading to France as a member of the Skillaroos team representing Bricklaying in the Worldskillls International competition. We wish Ethan all the very best.

Hannah our bricklaying apprentice... Hannah is doing a great job and has been fully embraced by the team (in a trade that is male-dominated). Hannah's success has expanded Brickit's recruiting approach to find more female candidates which is exciting for our future. #construction #bricklayer #tradies #builders

It was great to be a part of the #NationalSkillsWeek launch with @MonashCollege Future Skills last night! Brick and Block Careers is proud to once again be a partner of National Skills Week, taking place from August 19th to 25th, 2024. This year's theme, "Game Changer," perfectly reflects our ongoing dedication to promoting the transformative influence of vocational education and training (VET). National Skills Week is led by SkillsOne Television and backed by the government and industry leaders! It was inspiring to hear from Brian Wexham as he shared the remarkable story of our ambassador, Elizabeth Briggs. Her journey from being a fitness instructor to becoming a bricklayer is truly inspiring and a testament to her dedication and willingness to accept challenges. Her story motivates us to exceed our limits and never give up! @CraigRobertson_VSA discussed the critical importance of vocational education in shaping Victoria's future. It was indeed an exceptional event attended by over 200 industry leaders. Special shoutout to Anne Cazar for her exceptional work! Let's build a brighter future together! #brickandblockcareers #bricklaying #blocklaying #skills #NSWk2024 #skillsdevelopment #vocationaleducation #futurefocused Ayesha S.Dadlani David Brown Josie Beven Sue Johnsen

Our CEO, Michael Morrissey, attended the National Skills Week 2024 launch event at The National Press Club Canberra yesterday. During the event, Professor Barney Glover AO emphasised the urgent need to address the under-representation of women in trade roles, highlighting the significant gender gap in our workforce. The under-representation of women in the construction industry is a significant issue, with only 3% currently accounting for the workforce. It's clear that change is needed. Brick and Block Careers team is committed to promoting a more inclusive industry and addressing the gender gap. We firmly believe that addressing gender imbalance is not only a matter of equality but also crucial for ensuring business success and meeting the future needs of our workforce. #brickandblockcareers #bricklaying #blocklaying #womenintrades #NationalSkillsWeek #DiversityInTrades #WomenInConstruction #hia #Masterbuilders #thinkbrick MEGT (Australia) Ltd Housing Industry Association (HIA) SkillsOne Television Hilary Ashworth Anne Cazar
