From school to a thriving career in carpentry for Mitchell

/ Success Story
I started an apprenticeship after I finished school and I’ve loved it. I work on custom residential builds and work on the project from the slab until completion. Being able to finish the day and look back at what I’ve done, it gives me a lot of satisfaction in what I do.

I like being able to work with different people at trade school in Colac and learn how other people do things on site. Our teacher has been really good and the things we learn at TAFE translates straight to what we’re doing on site.  
Once I’m qualified I’d ultimately love to become a builder and eventually have my own business.
