Louise’s role is to partner closely with the off-site construction industries: frame and truss, timber joinery, architectural aluminium joinery, glazing, stonemasonry and brick and block laying sectors, identifying skills needs and advocating for those needs to be met both now and into the future.

She is passionate about vocational education, having seen first-hand the positive impact that gaining a trade qualification can have on a person’s life.

Louise would like to see more employers connected to the vocational education system to ensure learners are qualifying with skills that are relevant and current to the industry they’re entering. Louise is excited about the introduction of skills standards which present opportunities for increased collaboration across the sector and a more flexible learner journey.
