Axalta has announced a two year alliance as a Gold Partner with WorldSkills Australia, celebrating its long standing 10 year partnership with the non-profit organisation.
As part of the renewal, Axalta will continue to support both the regional and national competitions hosted by WorldSkills Australia.
WorldSkills Australia is a non-profit organisation focused on skills excellence in vocational, technological, and service-oriented careers.
Together, both organisations offer support and resources such as product training, exposure to the latest work practices and sustainable techniques, problem solving strategies, teamwork development, and leadership skills.
WorldSkills Australia regional competitions are held across Australia, with each event designed to help participants improve skills, build confidence, and benefit from exposure to the latest technology and techniques.
Axalta Australia national training manager Paul Polverino said the company was a strong supporter of the refinish industry and would continue to do its utmost to support its development.
“At Axalta, we are passionate about the refinish industry, and we are driven by the desire to secure its future through the promotion of both sustainable practices and skills development in young professionals.
“This is very important to us, as there are fewer young people entering the refinish industry than ever before – and we are committed to supporting events and initiatives that promote the industry’s productivity and capabilities.”
