Construction Training Fund

**About Construction Training Fund** Construction Training Fund (CTF) is a Statutory Authority for the construction workforce. We help ensure Western Australia’s building and construction industry can meet the demand for skilled workers and create a safe, sustainable future for all who work in the industry. We provide support to attract and retain workers by promoting training and skills development. Together we are supporting a diverse and skilled workforce for resilient, sustainable and balanced growth that benefits the entire community. For employers, CTF offers grants for offsetting the cost of hiring an apprentice. This initiative provides employers with the confidence to invest in the construction workforce future. We work with organisations of all sizes, as well as industry peak bodies, state and local government, schools, teachers, students, parents and individuals in the community to encourage a fulfilling and rewarding career in the building industry. **Our History** CTF was established in 1990 as the ‘Building and Construction Industry Training Fund’ under the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund and Levy Collection Act. In 2009, we changed our name to Construction Training Fund. We are managed by a Board of industry representatives appointed by the Minister for Education and Training. Our team consists of dedicated individuals who assist stakeholders in areas such as levy payments, eligibility, processing claims for grants and subsidies, training initiatives, pre-apprenticeship options, career advice and pathways, and industry research and insights.
