About Us
TDT Victoria (Transport & Distribution Training, Victoria) is the peak training advisory body for the road, rail, marine and air transport, distribution and warehousing industries of Victoria and has been commissioned by the Victorian government to provide advice on skill needs and skill development areas in the Transport, Distribution and Logistics (T&L) industry.
TDT Victoria is a non-profit organisation comprised of key employer and union representatives of the transport and distribution industries and is funded by industry and government.
Our aim is to promote quality training and to provide industry and government with relevant advice on training issues in order to improve the skills and productivity across the transport and logistics industry.
Our strategies are built around three target groups:
- the school environment;
- school to work pathways, and
- the existing workforce.
