We bring new skilled talent into the critically constrained pool of skilled maintenance tradespeople and achieve a 93% retention rate.
Plan & Design
Blue Tongue provides you with expert consulting to help fill your most critical workforce gaps. We work with you to plan and design an innovative, custom program to address your workforce planning needs.
Recruit & Hire
We source, select, hire, and start paying our A-grade workforce. They are on our books throughout the Advanced Group Training. Blue Tongue takes the capital risk on this so our clients don’t have to.
Train
We work with our chosen RTO partners to design and build specialised programs that leverage off the existing skill set of our workforce to fast-track their trade upgrade. A custom simulated work environment ensures the workforce gains additional practical experience in an industry setting for true job readiness.
Mobilise
We handle all the onboarding and mobilisation requirements to get the workforce operational at your site.
Work
The specialised, Up-Skilled workforce, still on Blue Tongue’s payroll, delivers quality work for you on site for a period
of time until they receive their additional qualification.
Transfer To Client
After a set period of time on site, your workforce gains an additional trade qualification and are ready to transfer to you. Now you have a Dual Trade Qualified mechanic or electrician working directly for you as a full-time employee, and one who already has experience on your site.
The Blue Tongue model is a partnership model. We take the headache and commercial risk out of the process of Up-Skilling. We choose our host employers carefully, to be strategic partners in bringing new skilled talent into the pool – Tully Young, Blue Tongue Managing Director.
