Clear to Work was created by Brendan Power and like all good stories, his started in a pub. No, really, Brendan was born in a pub, and since day one has been immersed in the world of hospitality. Son of the great Queensland entrepreneur and businessman Bernie Power who, among many successful businesses, founded Power’s Brewing during the Australian beer wars of the late 1980s. If you didn’t know the beer wars were a ‘thing’ back in the 1980s, a) have you ever heard of anything more Australian? and b) you’re welcome for the history lesson. Brendan went on to own and operate a number of establishments both in Australia and overseas and has been a part of the Brisbane Broncos Leagues Club Board from 2016 to 2024, including becoming Chair in 2020. To say that Brendan has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry is an understatement.
When the idea came from a business partner to expand into the hospitality training space, Brendan was a natural choice and has since grown Clear to Work into the dynamic, leading-edge business it is today.
Brendan has curated an executive team with a rich history in the hospitality industry to drive the Clear to Work mission and vision forward. Our goal is to make the barrier of entry into the hospitality industry as low as possible by providing low cost, accessible training and certifications. Clear to Work has also pioneered training and police checks in the corporate space by creating platforms that provide ease of procurement and management of the products and services we provide.
We have no doubt that Clear to Work, driven by our mission, vision, and passion for the industry, will continue to stay on the leading edge of change and continue to provide the much-needed services to our corporate clients, online training learners, and online police check applicants.
