12 Case Studies We developed 'Pre-employment Program’ on the New Bridgewater Bridge project, helping build the capability and capacity of Tasmania's construction industry, and providing a career kick-start for 56 people who were either long-term unemployed, indigenous, disengaged youth, or a person living with a disability. The program was developed by us, funded by Keystone Tasmania, and delivered in partnership with TasTAFE and Lifeline. Overall, 500 people applied to join the course, 149 were shortlisted, and 56 participants (84% of the intake) graduated with job-ready skills. 26% were women and 28% were Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.
