As a year 12 student at Holy Spirit College Mackay, I am very interested in obtaining an electrical apprenticeship.
My last work experience was with Wes Multi Trades as an electrician. This work experience had a huge impact on me and made me realise that becoming an apprentice electrician is definitely something I would love to do moving forward with my life.
I have grown up on our family cane farm and have already learnt how to work hard, organise my self and be responsible for the jobs I am entrusted with. I believe the skills i have learnt on the farm will be a huge benefit to my future employer.
