When Dylon Tighe first connected with NexGen, he wasn’t sure what to expect. What he found was a team that believed in him.
Dylon began with Forklift Training through Yalagan Registered Training (YRT), giving him the credentials and confidence to take his first step into the workforce. That training led to a construction traineeship—and with it, a new sense of purpose.
"NexGen didn’t just give me a job," says Dylon. "They gave me a future."
The support didn’t stop after placement. Our team provided ongoing mentoring, guidance, and resources to help Dylon succeed. And it paid off—he was recently offered full-time employment.
