Lilydale Trades Training Centre

Our new, purpose-built, flexibly designed facility provides the Yarra Ranges Shire and surrounding areas with training opportunities around construction practices and technologies, addressing key gaps in the education and training available in the region, which has growing industry demand for skilled workers. 

The centre contains purpose built facilities for students including indoor and outdoor working spaces to mimic working environments.

With the current shortage of qualified carpenters and joiners throughout Australia, there has never been a better time to get yourself a trade. Build your future and get hands on experience learning from industry professionals in our purpose-built facility.

Breanna Szitarity

Certificate III in Plumbing

Breanna had spent her twenties working in the beauty therapy industry when she realised it wasn’t the right career path for her. “I have always wanted to do a trade but never had the guts to do it. I bit the bullet and did a plumbing pre-apprenticeship and loved it from day one.”

Breanna’s outstanding work was recognised when she was nominated for Apprentice of the Year at the Victorian Training Awards in August 2018. Box Hill Institute is very proud of Breanna’s achievements and her goals. In the future, Breanna wants to run her own plumbing business while she continues to encourage more women to work in trades.
