Inland Rail upskilling workshops a success

We’re committed to playing our part in upskilling regional communities and ensuring people are given the opportunity to help build Inland Rail. Late last year, the Inland Rail Skills Academy hosted eight business capability workshops between Beaudesert and Goondiwindi to help local businesses get ‘construction ready’.

In total, 114 people representing 100 local businesses, including 19 Indigenous businesses, attended business capability workshops held in November and December 2020. 

Eight workshops were held in Beaudesert, Ipswich, Gatton, Logan, Toowoomba, Pittsworth and Goondiwindi. 

The workshops, which helped businesses develop effective capability statements and understand their position in the Inland Rail supply chain, were followed by one-on-one mentoring sessions on how to best position themselves for success when tendering for major projects.
