Congratulations to past Motivation Civil and Minin

Congratulations to past Motivation Civil and Mining Academy students Josie Nelson and Blake Platt for winning awards at the recent Civil Contractors Federation WA Industry & Training Awards Gala Dinner.

Josie Nelson was awarded Apprentice of the Year (Non-Civil).

Her apprenticeship is with RJV and they wrote her a glowing recommendation for the evening, which you can read below.

"Josie has shown exceptional growth in the role and is now able to complete with confidence the daily workshop safety inspections. Josie has always showed a proactive approach to learning new skills and has quickly come to understand RJV's methodology. We hope she will inspire many more women into mechanical roles both here at RJV and in the industry as a whole. "

Well done Josie - we hope you continue to flourish and inspire those around you.

Blake Platt was awarded Certificate II Trainee of the Year.

His award was for his time at Motivation Civil and Mining Academy and is employed by Densford Civil.

"Blake was a self-motivated and hardworking student, with a positive attitude towards his training, trainer/mentors and peers. He displayed determination throughout the course to develop his skills. By graduation Blake demonstrated a strong skill set, which was successfully leveraged to obtain a job with Densford Civil. With an applied, positive, can-do attitude he continues to this day to take pride in himself and his work.

Well done Blake - we look forward to seeing your determination and skills take you far in your career.

Congratulations to everyone who received awards as well as those who were nominated as well, what an incredible achievement.

Two of our 2022 Graduates have been nominated for Certificate II Trainee of the Year at this evenings @ccfwa Western Australian Civil Construction Industry & Training Awards.

Congratulations Motivation Foundation nominees, Abby Morris and Blake Platt.

Abby and Blake hit the ground running as they graduated, both securing full-time positions with Asphaltech and Densford Civil by the time they graduated.

“Abby’s ability to communicate with others along with her ability to operate machinery to a precise standard made her a role model for the other students. Abby always stepped up to the tasks given to her and worked hard to accomplish them safely. Abby was approached as she graduated for an employment offer by Asphaltech and has been working for eight months as a bobcat operator.”

“Blake was a self-motivated and hardworking student, with a positive attitude towards his training, trainer/mentors, and peers. He displayed determination throughout the course to develop his skills. By graduation Blake demonstrated a strong skill set, which was successfully leveraged to obtain a job with Densford Civil. With an applied, positive, can-do attitude he continues to this day to take pride in himself and his work.”

Congratulations to everyone that’s been nominated for an award this evening and we wish you the best of luck.
