Our Plan

Bert Training Fund (BTF) regularly reviews its strategic direction to ensure we remain focused on achieving the objects of the fund.

The current strategic plan, developed in 2013 contains the following objectives:


PURPOSE

We aim to build a sustainable construction industry where the interests of workers and employers are advanced through continuous skills development. We seek an industry that takes responsibility for its training needs through committed and cooperative action. This includes the promotion and support of jointly managed training programs; industry controlled training facilities and industry owned training providers. Toward that end, we will adopt a consensus based approach to training policy and remain focused on managing an independent, industry led training fund.


ORGANISATIONAL VISION

By 2016 we aim to be recognised as an integral part of the value chain of the construction industry.
