About Us
The ROADS Foundation Ltd is a not for profit organisation that was established in November 2006 to provide training and development opportunities for young people in regional communities across Western Australia by assisting them with traineeship opportunities in the civil construction industry.
The Foundation is a company limited by guarantee and governed by a Board of Directors.
