Cross River Rail recruits trainees

Cross River Rail presents a great opportunity for local workers and contractors, creating more than 7,700 jobs during its construction and 450 opportunities for trainees and apprentices.

With 150 trainees and apprentices already onboard, Cross River Rail expects this number to grow thanks to a new training qualification.

In collaboration with TAFE Queensland, Cross River Rail is introducing a new Certificate III Rail Infrastructure traineeship qualification – a first for the state.

“We are committed to creating jobs now and developing career paths for younger people over their lifetime,” said Cross River Rail.

“This new Certificate III qualification in rail infrastructure will be delivered by TAFE Queensland to benefit the wider industry, not just those working on Cross River Rail.

“It ensures that the project leaves a training legacy that will benefit Queensland’s skilled labour force for years to come.”

So far, more than 2,300 jobs have been generated through the project, allowing for a strong foot forward in the state’s economic recovery from COVID-19.
