Trimmers enrol
BIA Victoria have said that it was great to see 32 potential trimmers kick off their 12-week TASWU taster program this week at Holmesglen. BIAV has worked hard along with colleagues from Textiles, Furnishings and Caravans to get the course in place, and to help address the drastic shortfall in trimming apprentices and resources. Photographed are two of the great teachers of the program in Garth (with the large group of new trainees), and Vince (photographed with BIAV CEO Steve Walker, Textile’s Ana Drougas, and Furnishing’s Dan La Franchi).
BIAV wish this new intake all the best for their 12-weeks and look forward to many of them filtering into marine trimming roles in May/June this year. Marine Trimmers that need an immediate worker or two, please contact BIAV’s Dan Brown . Some of them are ready to get going!
MMHN corporate opportunity
BIAV have said they appreciate the great work done by Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network (MMHN) and encourages BIAV members to consider a $300 corporate membership to support the work they do on a fully volunteer basis. This includes bringing together individuals and stakeholder organisations that share a commitment to fostering greater recognition of, and knowledge about, the maritime sector, offering seminars, networking, and protecting and celebrating maritime’s rich history. MMHN is also a valued Melbourne Boat Show exhibitor, an ally in terms of industry advocacy, and is very active in terms of addressing maritime skills issues.
