About the VTC

The Victorian Tunnelling Centre (VTC) at Holmesglen Institute’s Drummond Street campus trains and upskills thousands of workers in underground construction and tunnelling. Training up to 5,000 learners annually, the Australian-first tunnelling facility ensures that Victorians are leaders in underground construction, operations and workplace health and safety.

Who should attend this presentation?

Anyone with interest in tunnelling education, from students learning useful skills, to operators training their staff, to contractors that need a facility dedicated to tunnelling education. This presentation will give you many insights into what is available and the opportunities to explore.

Why should you attend?

This is a fantastic opportunity to learn what the VTC does and how it can extend your skills and career. You will also learn more about a workshop planned for later this year specifically designed for tunnel systems.

The VTC is in constant communication with industry. Working with construction companies on their training model well in advance, during the pre-tender phase, helping employers understand the REAL cost of skilling. VTC is building robust, mature, trusting relationships that help all stakeholders understand what’s happening in the industry.

Ross Digby

Associate Director, Centre for Energy & Infrastructure, Holmesglen Institute,

Ross thinks that listening closely to industry unearths the pain points, and solutions can come with combinations of accredited and non-accredited programs that align with organisational practice. Anyone can pick and mix what they need. He is passionate about training and wants to ensure that workers are fit for the roles they’re doing.
