Building Ideas Podcast with Matthew Rogister - S1E6

Welcome to the sixth episode of the all-new Building Ideas Podcast. In each episode, Master Builders SA CEO Will Frogley talks to some exciting characters within the building and construction industry.
In this episode, we hear from Matthew Rogister from Ventia which is a government facility management and arrangement company with the South Australian Government. Ventia works across approximately 4,000 sites, including health, schools and other civil areas.
Matt and Will discuss the exciting opportunities that Ventia presents the building and construction industry, especially for sub-contractors with a vast range of building refurbishments to keep South Australia ready for the future. Matt details the best ways to get involved and on-boarded with Ventia as a sub-contractor, with many future works also in the pipeline.
The major need for workers in regional South Australia was also discussed, and the need to keep country towns moving forward with updated infrastructure and career opportunities. As South Australia is projected to need 15,000 more tradies over the next 3 years to fill the skills shortage, Will and Matt also discuss the great work of the Born to Build Program, including how they aim to change the mentality around trades and encourage this career path as a lucrative and exciting option for young people.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to learn more about Ventia and their sub-contracting opportunities.
