Picture Your Next Chapter
It's three years from now.
An apprentice you've worked with walks onto site with confidence. They communicate well, take pride in their work, understand the importance of quality workmanship and know what's expected of them on the job.
Their supervisor notices the difference.
They come prepared. They ask good questions. They think ahead. They care about getting it right.
They were shaped by experienced tradespeople who took the time to pass on what they've learned.
That's where you come in.
As a Trainer and Assessor with Blue Dog, you'll work directly with apprentices, sharing real-world carpentry knowledge, supporting their development and helping them build successful careers in the construction industry.
