NECA Foundation was established by electrotechnology industry leaders with a vision of developing our outstanding young tradespeople to become successful business professionals and future industry leaders.
The essence of our original objectives still applies; we want to provide resources and opportunities for our young tradespeople to create successful careers and become future leaders.
But the industry has changed since the Foundation’s inception. With the continuing development of NECA’s RTOs, and government support available for some of the training that we used to provide scholarships for, the need for us to offer courses directly – and the demand for scholarships – has changed.
So we are looking into new ways to fulfil our original purpose – providing opportunities for development that don’t otherwise exist for the next generation of industry leaders.
That still includes resources created by our generous current and past Board members (as seen on the Resources page).
We also still offer Scholarships and we are open to offering courses in the future, or supporting the RTOs to offer courses that aren’t otherwise available.
But we are also looking for new, 21st-century, ways to fulfil our vision. To that end, we are thrilled to announce the creation of the Electrotechnology Careers Pathway – a powerful, interactive tool to help our tradespeople navigate their way from apprentice to industry leaders with clarity and confidence.
