With more than 20 years’ experience in professional services in recruitment, on-hire, group training and workforce development, Tully has spent his entire career working with businesses that have long term trade skills shortages or productivity issues based around skills.

“I’d recommend the Advanced Group Training Program to anyone that’s willing to give it a go, and not be timid. There’s a lot of hard work on heavy trucks so you can’t just shy away from the hard work, you’ve got to be able to put all hand on deck and go for it.”
Jenaro
Upskilled and now working as a Heavy Duty Equipment Technician

“I thought maybe it would be hard for me. When you go to a new environment, different culture and different people. It was my first time on a mine site in another country, but it wasn’t hard to blend in. ”
Joseph
International Heavy Duty Equipment Technician

“The Advanced Group Training Program was full on. It was very go-go-go, which was very different to when I did my Automotive Service Mechanic training.”
