Congratulations to Year 12 VET student Jack, who has been signed up for a school-based carpentry apprenticeship with Ben Lowther at Dawn Carpentry. Jack completed a stint of work experience with Ben and worked really hard. This led to discussions resulting in an offer of an apprenticeship. Ben values investing in the next generation of builders both in skill and character. Zac Kemp (alumni 2020) is also an apprentice with Ben and they are both excited to welcome Jack to Dawn Carpentry. Well done Jack!

Congratulations to Year 12 VET student, Jake, who has secured a school-based traineeship with Blue Tongue Adventure.

The team at Blue Tongue Cafe were very impressed with Jake’s natural ability to connect with their clients and were thrilled to be able to offer Jake a Disability Support Worker School-based Traineeship. Jake is loving the work and he is excited about the numerous opportunities available to him within the Blue Tongue Group. Great work Jake!
