In spite of COVID-19, many Employers in the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) are continuing to employ apprentices. In response, Thomson Bridge (now RelyOn Australia) has refined and expanded our delivery methods for apprenticeship training programs.
In 2020 Thomson Bridge (RelyOn Australia) has tripled the size of our apprentice program for ESI apprentices. A high volume of these students have transferred directly from other providers to complete their 2020 training with Thomson Bridge (RelyOn Australia). These apprentices have ranged between 1st year to 4th year, in areas such as rail traction and cable jointing – these two vital skills being important areas for level crossing removal, and rail infrastructure work supporting Victoria’s Big Build.
