WHO WE ARE

ABORIGINAL jv COMPANY & ENGAGEMENT



Thomas Building’s supervisors had extensive experience when working with Rapley Wilkinson (formerly owned by Thomas Building Manager Director Alan Thomas) in Kununurra on 30 houses for the state Government.

The Federal Government provided an incentive for employment of Aboriginal apprentices.

Kimberley Group Training (KGT) was the sponsored apprenticeship assistance/liaison agency who managed the process. KGT chose the candidates it considered suitable for each position made available by the subcontractor.

The apprentices could choose any trade - standard or otherwise. Each week, KGT would liaise on site with the Aboriginal apprentices and subcontractors, to ensure that any issues were resolved, confirmed that they were at work and that they were being paid.

The sub-contractors working on site treated the Aboriginal apprentices no differently from other apprentices they had ever worked with. The sub-contractors placed nine apprentices in vari-ous trades - concrete, carpentry, roof and wall clad, Gyprock, painting, and electrical.

At least five of these placements continued past the first year with the sub-contractor. With nine Aboriginal apprentices on site, all sub-contractors took it on board to ensure everyone worked well together.

The Aboriginal groups held different cultural classes which were offered to all sub-contractors and supervisors, so that everyone could understand and respect the cultural differences.

Overall, it was a great success for all involved.
