Trainer/Mentor - Civils/Trades Pathways
Inspire the next generation of Western Australia's workforce

Motivation Foundation is looking for an energetic, hands-on and passionate Trainer/Mentor to help develop the skills, confidence and employability of young Western Australians.

This is not your typical training role.

We're looking for someone who enjoys working with young people, sharing practical skills, building projects, solving problems and helping others achieve their potential. Whether your background is in civil construction, building trades, plant operations, mechanical, fabrication, maintenance, or a related industry, we'd love to hear from you.

If you're the type of person who can turn practical tasks into learning opportunities and genuinely enjoys seeing young people succeed, this could be the role for you.

About Motivation Foundation

Since 2008, Motivation Foundation has been helping young Western Australians develop the skills, behaviours and confidence needed to enter the workforce.

Through nationally recognised training programs and practical, hands-on learning, we support school students and young people who may be disengaged from mainstream education to create meaningful pathways into employment.

Our purpose is easy:

"To educate and develop life and employability skills for individuals and groups from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds."

Every day we help young people discover what they're capable of and build brighter futures.
