Maxwell Working To Solve National Trade Skills Shortage With Apprenticeships

February 24, 2023

Technicians & Trades Workers are Australia’s most in-shortage major occupation group, with 47% of all occupations rated in shortage by the National Skills Commission.

This is a major issue facing blue collar businesses across the Hunter Valley, and one that Maxwell Recruitment & Training is taking real steps to address.

For over a decade, Maxwell has provided highly skilled labour hire and real-world training for tradespeople, labourers and administration and management staff in manufacturing, mining services, other engineering trades and construction. Last year alone, they supplied over 600 workers to worksites around Newcastle and the Hunter and trained over 2,200 students. Now as a registered Group Training Organisation, they are also providing apprenticeships for in-demand blue collar occupations and traineeships for office administration staff.

We believe in growing and developing the local workforce and taking action to address the national skills shortage. After more than a decade of success in recruitment and training, we’re now bringing our industry-leading expertise to the apprenticeship space to help build our clients’ capacity and capability from within, and to offer vital opportunities for the next generation of our workforce.

Managing Director, Peter Maxwell

The types of apprenticeships on offer include Boilermakers, Mechanical Fitters, Machinists, Hydraulic Fitters, Electricians and Carpenters, and Maxwell also offers traineeships in Business Administration (Cert. III). Apprentices and trainees are placed around Newcastle and the Hunter’s best worksites in long-term roles, in many cases alongside Maxwell’s highly skilled labour hire workforce.

As with all Maxwell’s labour hire workers, apprentices and trainees also have access to free, real-world safety training via their Registered Training Organisation, including courses in safety at heights, confined space training, first aid, CPR, low volt rescue and more.

Our workers are our business, and to our knowledge, our on-site free training for our workers is a national first for labour hire in this industry. Importantly, it gives us great confidence in placing well-trained workers with our clients, knowing they’ve had high quality safety training that’s always up-to-date. This is one of the reasons we were able to yet again achieve zero LTIs last year. We’re excited to bring this level of service to the apprentice and trainee space.

Managing Director, Peter Maxwell

Maxwell provides recruitment for workshop roles at every level, from the workshop floor to the office. With this new apprenticeship offering, Maxwell is helping to build the future capacity and capability of local manufacturing, mining services, other engineering trades and construction.
