NSW opens training door to electrical apprentices

The opening of Integral Energy's $14 million state of the art electrical training centre in Sydney's west signals the NSW Government's commitment to training the next generation of electricity workers, Minister for Energy Ian Macdonald said. "The Hoxton Park Technical Training Centre will cater for more than 300 apprentices over the next five years to ensure Integral Energy can deliver efficient and reliable electricity supplies to families and businesses," Minister Macdonald said. Mr Macdonald said the NSW Government was committed to giving young people a chance to learn in their trade or career particularly during the unprecedented global economic crisis.
