This qualification is an entry-level introduction to the construction industry, focusing on providing foundational knowledge and skills that are crucial for anyone considering a future in this field. Key components include:

• Work Health and Safety (WHS): Essential safety protocols and requirements are a primary focus, ensuring that learners can meet regulatory standards for working on construction sites.
• Industry Overview: It introduces the structure and culture of the construction industry, the types of job roles available, and typical workplace expectations.
• Practical Skills: Learners will develop basic communication skills, work planning abilities, and hands-on experience with tools and materials.
• Employability Skills: The program integrates these essential skills within a basic construction project, offering learners a holistic approach to understanding the industry.

While there are no specific job outcomes tied to this qualification, it serves as a strong foundation for advancing into a Certificate II pre-vocational program or Australian Apprenticeship. It’s particularly well-suited for students in VET programs or those with no prior experience in construction, helping to prepare them for further training or entry into the workforce.

Additionally, the CPCCWHS1001 unit (Prepare to work safely in the construction industry) is critical as it meets the legal safety induction requirements for accessing construction sites in Australia
