This is a unique opportunity to kick-start your trade career while completing your SACE at school. Working two days per week (Wednesday and Friday), you will gain hands-on experience alongside highly experienced tradespeople, learn from industry experts and develop practical skills in a modern manufacturing environment. 

Your trade training will contribute towards your SACE, allowing you to continue your education while building a nationally recognised qualification and getting a head start on your future career.

• A sound level of literacy and numeracy and the ability to apply these skills in a practical environment
• Demonstrated commitment through school, sport, part-time work, volunteering or community involvement 
• Strong attendance record, reliability and a positive attitude towards learning
• A willingness to embrace new challenges and work safely as part of a team

Most importantly, you are motivated to learn, take initiative and develop the skills needed for a successful trade career. 

As part of the selection process, applicants must be prepared to undergo a pre-employment medical assessment which includes functional, audiometric, drug and alcohol testing.

What's on Offer

You'll have the opportunity to

• Learn from experienced tradespeople and industry professionals
• Build technical and practical skills in a modern manufacturing environment
• Gain exposure to world-leading technology, automation and advanced manufacturing systems
• Start your trade career while completing school
