Sullivans Mining & Industrial: Supporting Future Tradespeople In Parkes

Sullivans Mining & Industrial Parkes is proud to support the next generation of local tradespeople through a donation to Parkes High School and its Trade Readi­ness Program – Introduction to Engineer­ing, currently being delivered through TAFE NSW across May and June.

As part of the initiative, Sullivans Min­ing & Industrial Parkes has supplied 12 Welding Helmets and 12 Pairs of Welding Gloves.

The equipment will be used by the stu­dents participating in the program, helping them develop practical engineering and welding skills in a safe, hands-on learning environment.

Sullivans Mining & Industrial Marketing Manager, Belinda Clenton, said supporting local trade pathways and workforce devel­opment is an important investment in the future of regional communities.

“Programs like this give students valu­able exposure to practical skills and career opportunities within industry. Having ac­cess to the right equipment from day one helps build confidence, safety awareness, and real-world experience,” she said.

Bianca said the branch is committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen local communities, encourage skills develop­ment, and create opportunities for young people considering careers in trade and industry.

“It’s great to see these students getting involved, building practical skills, and pre­paring for future opportunities in engineer­ing and trades,” Bianca concluded.
