Well we might have been a little quiet on ours socials over the past few weeks, however this has not been the case in our sheds.
Our Build It Skilling Queenslanders for Work Tiny House project is coming along nicely.
Over the past few weeks our 8 trainees have been getting inducted trained and most importantly getting amongst the tools.
Today is paint day where we add a bit of colour to what was once a pile of steel laying on the floor.
The trainees under the experienced eyes of teamleader Luke have build this super structure from nothing.
Next week its floors windows and roof on.
Then its solar panels and battery's build from eWaste here at Substation33.
Then into the detailed part with cabinets and bathrooms.
Watch this space as we build out our off- grid Tiny home while also developing the skill set of our wonderful young trainees.

Substation33 @ LEAF

Substation33’s Solar Coffee Trailer was at the Logan Eco Action Festival (LEAF) last weekend held at Griffith Uni’s Logan campus. It was a busy day fueling people with coffee, hot chocolates and chai, and chatting with people about Substation33, especially our lithium ion battery management projects.

So what is LEAF?

Held annually, LEAF is the city's largest event dedicated to sustainability, environmental conservation, and the wonder of nature. It brings together top sustainability experts and conservationists for a day of interactive workshops, engaging talks, and hands-on activities designed to inspire and educate.

It’s been a big week at Substation33, with both our Refurb IT and Drive IT programs in full swing and our young participants kicking goals! 🚗💻

Our Drive IT participants have been on the road with Substation33’s qualified driving instructors, building confidence, learning new skills, and working towards becoming safe, capable drivers in a supportive environment.

Meanwhile, our Refurb IT trainees commenced on Monday and have been learning the fundamentals of IT and getting hands-on experience along the way.

Both groups spent today working hard towards their Certificate I in Workplace Skills, building valuable skills for their future employment.

It’s been a busy, productive week full of learning, growth, and achievements. We hope everyone enjoys a well earned rest this weekend - you’ve earned it! 🎉👏

All In: Logan Reconciliation Event

Subbstation33 was proud to be a part of the Reconciliation Day event held at Woodridge State High on Thursday the 28th May. We hosted a BBQ and served barista coffees from our Solar Coffee Trailer. Some of our new trainees were able to practice their newly acquired customer service and barista skills and they did it all in pouring rain with smiles on their faces.

The "All In: Logan Reconciliation Event" is a free, community-led celebration held to commemorate National Reconciliation Week. Delivered in partnership by YFS, Logan District Elders, and the Logan City Council, the day brings the community together to share culture, food, and activities.

See IT Be IT Graduation.

Last Thursday our latest group of trainees celebrated the completion of their Skilling Queenslanders for Work Traineeship. We had a graduation ceremony at our Substation33 location to mark the occasion with guests, family, friends and employers.

All participants have either secured employment or are in the final stages of securing employment. We want to congratulate them all for completing their traineeship and wish them all the best in their future!

This is the last group of trainees that will go through See IT be IT, and we will have a new group of trainees starting in Refurb IT on 1 June.

Congratulations from all of us here at Substation33!
