About Motivation Foundation

The Motivation Foundation is a charity focused on educating and developing life and employability skills for students from diverse backgrounds enrolled in Years 11, 12 or equivalent.

Students have the opportunity to achieve a nationally recognised Certificate II in Civil Construction and Certificate II in Resources and Infrastructure Work Preparation through on-site training and workplace experience.

Investment in Youth

For over 30 years, Ertech has been committed to developing and enhancing communities through its civil construction projects.

Since 2008, the Ertech Construction Academy has been preparing young people for careers in civil construction, providing hands-on training in skills like pipe laying and machine operation to help them become job-ready.

The Motivation Foundation now operates the academy, which has been rebranded as the Motivation Civil & Mining Academy, with a focus on growing student numbers and ensuring long-term sustainability.

Ertech is the founding and major sponsor of the Academy and actively recruits graduates from the program to transition trainees into the workplace.

Motivation Foundation is committed to supporting each student with a holistic approach that caters to their individual needs, whilst preparing them with the tools required to succeed in the construction industry.
