Now the hard work begins Levi, but you're up for it - congratulations!

17.01.2022 During the Cert I in Construction, TAFE decided to add a few more experiences for our young people, trying out painting, tiling and bricklaying. It was during the tiling experience that Jesse Lewis decided he wanted to try it in a work experience placement. Employer Aesthetic Tile & Stone already had one of our former students and rang to ask for another at the time Jesse was looking - so it was meant to be! Congratulations Jesse, sometimes looking at something new really pays off!

16.01.2022 Thanks to Blair from GC TAFE who visited our Year 11 and 12 Electrotechnology young people today to offer some support ensure they understand and are up to speed with their e-profiling. RTOs and employers rely on the e-profiling record to identify and track an apprentices progression and achievement of competency through on-the-job application of knowledge and skills, so it's vital that young people understand it's importance and how to use it.

15.01.2022 What a journey for Jay Martin! When Jay started working with PPSQ Plumbing & Gas in March this year, he immediately impressed bosses Ben and Jake with his strong work ethics and can-do attitude. Unfortunately this was at the beginning of a pandemic, so the future looked uncertain. Fast forward 6 months and nearly 400 hours of work placement, and Jay's continuous hard work and commitment to the company meant that PPSQ offered him an apprenticeship when the time was right for them. Huge congratulations to you Jay - your perseverance has paid off, and you're now a first year Plumbing Apprentice! Excellent job!

14.01.2022 Andrew and Brendan Lavis were very determined to be signed up into an apprenticeship quickly. Conversations with the twins through the Year 10 Rookies program confirmed their dedication and focus, they were more than ready to work hard at reaching their shared goal. Andrew and Brendan have been raised on 'on the tools' from a young age and always enjoyed working with their father, Matt from Matt Lavis Building. After a short time on work experience, Matt was ready to sign them both up. Congratulations Andrew and Brendan I am certain we will be seeing your handiwork for years to come in the buildings and renovations yet to be done!

11.01.2022 Anthony Razmovski has been interested in becoming an auto mechanic since his arrival at College. He was super keen and tried work experience with a number of different companies, really looking for that perfect "fit". Roy from Roy's Auto Care was the answer, connecting from the first day and the feeling was mutual - voila! Congratulations Anthony, your passion just became your career!

11.01.2022 Dreams really do come true! Hamish Moore has overcome many obstacles over the past 12 months. After missing out on a hard earned apprenticeship offer just before Christmas due to a broken arm, he was then offered another shot earlier this year, only to have it taken away again due to Covid:19. Instead of this deterring him, it only gave Hamish more fuel to chase his dream. Hamish applied for the Brown & Hurley 2021 Apprenticeship for Heavy Diesel intake a couple of months ag...o, and sealed his fate by showcasing his work ethic and excellent attitude at a few weeks of Work Experience. He was then put forward for an interview and some extensive tests, which he passed with flying colours! Congratulations to you Hamish, you've really earned this! And congrats to Cameron and the team at Brown and Hurley on welcoming your new apprentice in the New Year. See more

10.01.2022 Congratulations to Kade Harper who is now an Apprentice Locksmith! Kade first tested the waters with a week of work experience at Terry's Lock and Security Solutions in 2019 which he thoroughly enjoyed. He then tried a couple of other trade options, but the locksmithing experience stayed in his mind, so he booked another couple of weeks to be sure this was the right path for him. General Manager Sergio, was thrilled to be able to offer him the opportunity to join the team, clearly the feeling was mutual. Well done Kade, we're proud of you to have the courage to follow your heart and wish you all the very best !

07.01.2022 Caleb Balint took advantage of the flexibility of the AITC program and completed many hours of work experience in both Plumbing and Electrical, both of which he enjoyed and learned a great deal. When Foundation Training Australia approached us with a local employer searching for his first apprentice for his rapidly expanding Landscape Construction company, Qld Fence & Landscape Pty Ltd Caleb was keen to try out. Having a part-time landscaping job had ignited Caleb's passion in this area, and gave him the head start he needed to impress employer, Matt. Congratulations Caleb as you begin your apprenticeship journey - AITC is so proud of you!

04.01.2022 HWD Constructions provided some work experience for Angus Day, and never looked back. Angus had already been flagged by his TAFE trainer as a "quiet achiever" and HWD agreed. His commitment, attitude and interest in the trade got him over the line - congratulations Angus!

02.01.2022 What was that video at Roof Shout all about? Watch it again below. At the AITC, giving back is in our DNA. To not only be industry leaders but to also make a difference in the world. COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the Siem Reap economy, due to the immediate suspension of international tourism several months ago.... Every two years, AITC young people, employers and staff use their technical talents to improve the lives of critically poor families in Cambodia by building homes and repairing the New Hope school. But with international travel suspended, we need to help in other ways. We have hope. We have a plan. We have a goal. All will be revealed in Term 4. We just need you to say Im in. #AITCImIn

02.01.2022 "The job market has been through big upheavals in 2020 and thats impacted which industries have the most demand for new workers. Huge pressure on the healthcare system and a growth in parcel delivery during COVID-19 are two key factors shaping the most-needed roles in Australia right now."

01.01.2022 Yesterday saw our last Roofshout for the year! There was a lot to celebrate with academic awards, Industry sign ups and recognition of some outstanding young people, not to mention the Bringamate reward recipients. Congratulations to all and enjoy some down time - you've earned it!
