MPA Skills joins IntoWork Group

IntoWork is pleased to announce MPA Skills has joined the IntoWork Group.

After supporting MPA Skills to exit from voluntary administration, IntoWork is committed to supporting staff, apprentices and students within the business to grow and thrive going forward in a supportive environment.

With various sites across Western Australia, the business offers a range of services including apprentice employment (GTO) and training (RTO).

Announcing the move, Group CEO Poul Bottern said the IntoWork Group has a 40-year history of delivering quality, innovative and effective services and programs to individuals and communities.

“This is an exciting move that aligns with IntoWork’s vision of being the leading provider of employment, skills and education, and support services, a vision that is shared by our new business, MPA Skills”.

As part of the IntoWork Group, MPA Skills is in a secure position to continue operation and have access to greater support, expertise and resources to deliver its services.

This move will see more than 35 core staff, almost 200 GTO apprentices become part of the IntoWork Group, along with more than 500 vocational education training students.

Across Australia and New Zealand, the Group now has more than 2600 staff operating across more than 200 locations.

Ben Dahlstrom, CEO of Skill Hire and Nara (also part of the IntoWork Group) has been appointed CEO of MPA Skills.

“We’re thrilled to welcome MPA Skills to the IntoWork family and look forward to supporting more individuals, businesses and communities than ever before,” said Mr Bottern.

The IntoWork Group is a non-for-profit organisation that has grown over the last 40 years to become a leading provider of employment, skills, education and support services that promote educational, economic and social participation for all.

The IntoWork Group employs more than 2600 in over 200 locations, supporting 100,000 individuals in employment and individualised support and working closely with 60,000 businesses.
