HYDAC Australia has been recognised as a national finalist in the Australian Apprenticeships Employer Award at the 2025 Australian Training Awards. This honour places HYDAC among the top organisations in the country that are leading the way in workforce development, vocational training and industry capability building.
Selected from hundreds of entries across Australia, the finalist ranking acknowledges HYDAC’s strong commitment to developing skilled professionals for the fluid power and industrial automation sectors. The achievement highlights the success of HYDAC’s apprenticeship program, delivered in partnership with the Australia Industry Group (AI Group), and reflects the dedication of our apprentices, mentors and wider workforce.
HYDAC’s four year program combines hands-on technical experience with structured training and national qualifications. Apprentices work across electrical, hydraulic and service areas, gaining exposure to real projects, modern technologies and certified training environments. This approach continues to produce high performing graduates who build long term careers in the industry. Success stories such as James Marley, who completed the program and was awarded the Apprentice of the Year: Electrical by AI Group in 2023, demonstrate the strength of the pathway.
The recognition also reflects HYDAC’s continued focus on skills development. With new facilities, expanded production capability and increasing demand for advanced training solutions, HYDAC continues to invest in people, innovation and industry partnerships.
HYDAC is proud to stand alongside other leading organisations at this year’s awards and looks forward to the national presentation event in Darwin. The nomination reinforces our commitment to building Australia’s future workforce and supporting high quality apprenticeships across the country.
