PWR Announces Strategic Partnership with Major Training to Strengthen Future Workforce Capability

PWR Advanced Cooling Technology is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Major Training, focused on building the next generation of highly skilled talent within the advanced manufacturing sector.

This collaboration has been established to deliver structured, industry-aligned apprenticeship pathways that equip individuals with the practical skills and technical capability required to succeed in a rapidly evolving manufacturing environment.

About Major Training

Major Training Group (RTO 6139) is one of Queensland’s leading registered training organisations, specialising in apprenticeships, traineeships, and workforce development across the trades and manufacturing sectors. Operating across Queensland and New South Wales — with offices in Morayfield, Yatala, Dinmore, Cairns, Virginia, and Beresfield — Major Training works directly with employers to design and deliver training that is built around real operational needs, not generic outcomes.

With over a decade of experience managing employer-led apprenticeship programs, Major Training brings deep capability in sourcing, placing, and developing trade talent at scale. Their model is built on long-term partnership with industry, ensuring that every learner who comes through their programs is equipped for the specific demands of the workplace they are entering.

Major Training currently supports a portfolio of employer partners across automotive, electrical, engineering, and advanced manufacturing — including national and multi-site organisations who rely on Major to manage the full lifecycle of their apprenticeship investment, from recruitment through to trade completion.

What This Partnership Delivers

Through this partnership, PWR and Major Training will:

  • Develop a sustainable and future-focused talent pipeline tailored to PWR’s operational environment
  • Deliver hands-on, real-world training aligned to PWR’s specific technical and manufacturing requirements
  • Ensure learners are industry-ready from day one, with structured onboarding into PWR’s standards and culture
  • Support skills development in emerging and advanced technologies as PWR’s capability continues to evolve
  • Provide end-to-end apprenticeship management, reducing the administrative burden on PWR’s internal teams while maintaining full visibility over learner progress

Quote from Sharyn Williams, MD/CEO — PWR Advanced Cooling Technology:

“The future of advanced manufacturing will be defined by the capability of our people as much as the technologies we develop. This partnership represents a strategic investment in that future — building a pipeline of talent equipped not only for today’s challenges, but for the industries and innovations of tomorrow. By working with Major Training, we are shaping a workforce that will drive progress, accelerate innovation, and strengthen our global competitiveness.”

Quote from Corey Bowles, CEO — Major Training Group:

“PWR is exactly the kind of employer we want to be building workforce solutions for. They operate at the highest level of precision manufacturing in the world, and that demands a different kind of training partnership — one that goes well beyond paperwork and compliance. We’re here to build something that actually works for their business, their people, and the long-term capability they need to stay at the front of their industry.”

By combining PWR’s industry leadership and innovation capability with Major Training’s expertise in workforce development and apprenticeship delivery, the partnership creates a robust framework for long-term skills growth and organisational capability.

This initiative reinforces PWR’s commitment to investing in people and maintaining its position at the forefront of advanced manufacturing — and reflects Major Training’s ongoing mission to connect industry-leading employers with the skilled workforce they need to grow.
