A Queensland based transport company has announced the launch of its first-ever apprenticeship program.
Burpengary-based MJ Mahon Transport has revealed the significant milestone as it looks to provide a unique opportunity to people wanting to kickstart careers in transport.
The program will offer hands-on training and development in a “supportive and structured environment”.
MJ Mahon Transport was first established back in 2000 when Michael Mahon sold his first small truck and bought two 12-tonne trucks to carry groceries for independent grocery stores as well as produce from the Brisbane Markets.
“This apprenticeship is not just a great step for our company but also an innovative move within the broader Queensland transport industry,” the operator says.

To start the program, the operator announced its two inaugural apprentices in Aiden and Jaedyn.
“We are excited about the potential these young individuals bring and the impact this program will have on the future of our workforce,” MJ Mahon Transport says.
“The apprenticeship program is a testament to our commitment to growth, innovation, and the development of our business. We look forward to sharing more updates as the program progresses and celebrating its success together.
