FINALIST IN PREMIER'S RECONCILIATION BUSINESS AWARDS - SECOND YEAR RUNNING

East Coast Apprenticeships was nominated as a finalist in the Premier's Reconciliation Business Award 2007.  Our nomination was an honour and recognises the hard work of dedicated staff over several years in supporting Indigenous Australians in their efforts to gain sustainable employment.  East Coast has placed over 200 Indigenous Australians into apprenticeships, traineeships and general employment through such programs as Structure Training and Employment Support (STEP), and Breaking the Unemployment Initiatives.

P.S.  East Coast Apprenticeship was not successful at the Awards but remains grateful for making the State Final List.

Lindsay Turner, Apprentice Shop Fitter

Lindsay Turner is a 3rd Year Shop Fitter Apprenticeship.

How you enjoying your work?  I look forward to going to work and there is always plenty to learn.

How do you find your host employer?  Good, he comes to see me each Monday and asks how was the week end.  I like that my boss has a keen interest in me and my work.

How are your tradesmen?  I am always working with different tradesman.  This is good as they are all good tradesmen and they all do things differently.  This makes the job so much more interesting, you can do one job a number of different ways, and I like the variety of new ways I am taught to make something.

Do you play Sports?  Like Surfing on the week ends.

Where do you see yourself in 8 years?  I am saving up to buy my own house.

Where do you work?  My work takes me all over the place.  I am at college now for 3 weeks, but had I been at work I would be working in Melbourne for 2 weeks.  This part of the work is great for me as it allows me to see more of our great country.

Is it good doing an Apprenticeship?  This is the best decision I have ever done and I recommend this to all young people and specially to Indigenous young people.

Our reputation is forged on quality and service
