On Wednesday of week 7, a number of our year 10 and 11 students had a visit from The Minister of Innovation and Skills, David Pisoni. Minister Pisoni spoke about the value of apprenticeships and traineeships and the range of different careers that they can lead to. We were also lucky to have Julie Robertson, Director of Australian Landscape Trust along with two of their trainees, Caitlin Polack and Jeremy Sumner address the group. Each spoke about their own journey into traineeships and although each story varied, they all had a common thread, being the benefits that come with on the job training. These benefits included a wealth of practical experience, a range of qualifications and opportunities in different fields of employment.
