Daimler Trucks Wagga and Albury, part of the TriStar Group, is a leading regional provider of heavy vehicle sales, service and support.
The business is committed to workforce development and regional engagement, and this commitment is personal for Managing Director David Warren.
Beginning his career as an apprentice, David experienced first-hand the impact and benefit of structured training pathways.
This shaped his belief that people succeed when they are given the right guidance, skills and opportunities.
Through its partnership with GTES, a not-for-profit group training organisation, the business has established structured apprenticeships as trade career pathways for its employees.
GTES helps apprentices manage their work and study commitments, and it also coordinates their attendance at TAFE for the off-the-job component of their training.
By investing in workplace mentoring, hands-on learning and structured training, Daimler Trucks Wagga and Albury is maintaining a steady regional pipeline of skilled technicians into the future.
