testimonials

"The EPIC program as a whole is fantastic, particularly the mentoring aspect as it really helps provide the support the cadets need, particularly in adapting to new environments and learning to adjust to the different people they’ve had to work with. Having that mentor pairing gives them a safe place to fall back on should they have any concerns or issues they’re not comfortable raising on their own."

EPIC Mentor

"EPIC is a life changing program as it gave us the opportunity to get into the industry and work on massive infrastructure projects. At the same time, we got a local qualification from Swinburne university to fill the gap because we are from a different background from an engineering perspective and learn from industries 's experts from various disciplines."

EPIC Cadet

I believe that one of the biggest goals of the program was to train people for delivering the significant amount of work that is needed in the 10 or 15 years ahead, by benefiting from skilled people who are immigrants or asylum seekers with qualifications to give these people a chance to work and feel better about themselves, and also to learn and earn an Australian qualification and work experience.
