HIA - YouthBuild

YouthBuild is an initiative of the HIA in which young people learn about, and gain practical experience in, the building industry while completing their secondary school studies.

Currently aimed at Year 9 and 10 students, it serves to promote career diversity and provides a pathway into industry, primarily leading to VET training and apprenticeships. It also provides basic skill sets and industry experience.

The program has been integrated into the Department of Education’s Architecture and Construction Package of Learning and offers students practical electives.

Project duration: 48 months
