Gday fella's!
how is everyone? I was just wondering if anybody on here could help me out. I am currently searching for an appreticeship as either an electrician or a plumber. Just wondering if there is anyone of the site who is either of those and willing to take one on for next year? Or if someone knows a person looking for one? Im willing to travel anywhere in sydney on a daily basis as i have a supportive family. Cheers fellas. P.S i have applied for around half a dozen apprenticeships but the more I apply for the higher my chances of getting one. This post has been edited by TomMc: Jul 17 2008, 10:23 PM |

yer mate!
i was tossing up between getting a trade now or going on to year12 and doing a job in the primary industries... i go to year 12 theres another 2 years of not earing money, i then have to go to uni for 4 years so theres 6 years i wouldnt be making anything in. Just weighed up my options and ive decided id rather be doing a trade then 6 more years of full time education! |

I dunno how it works these days but when I was your age I looked into joining the Air Force, depending on what field you decide to enter they pay you to learn and for UNI if you need any qualifications to advance in your chosen field....Might be worth looking into-even if you have to finish yr 12 you would be earning whilst learning and from what I remember the $$$ on offer were very good considering you have no real expenses-all medical, dental, education, and accommodation(if you live on base) are taken care of!
Would offer you something myself but I don't think you would enjoy the 1hr+ travel each way daily to get to mine! Good luck Tom Jason -------------------- AAAAHhhhhhhh, I just wanna fish!!!!

1 simple thing look into your HSC as 99.9% of schools now offer a Tafe course as part of your HSC which gives you a better chance of the apprenticeship, and you start at year 2 on most.I have 2 mates which their childs are doing accountant diploma as part of the HSC and another is do fitting and turning all part of HSC. Fair enough you don't get paid but m8 you won't believe how much that piece of paper helps you in real life as I don't have it , I now regret not continuing on and completing. Also as someone said the AFF and Army do offer great job opportunities and you get paid to do it all.
My biggest regret was begin talked out of the AFF as I was accepted as a Trainee radar and electronics tec but my sister in law talked me out of it when I was 19 just after my parents died.I would now be retired on full wages at what ever rank I achieved and that would have been when I was only 35 now look at me 50 and only a manager and having to work till 65. All I can say is look and ask question of your careers advisor and make him or her work for you. --------------------  |

Ok Tom, this is how you can do it. Get in contact with this mob, if you jump through all the hoops, they will find you a host employer ( plumber, sparky| that is a member of the MBA. The MBA subsidises part of it, so it is attractive to the Tradesman. If the place you are at can continue employment for reasons out of YOUR control... They will find another emoyer for you.
The other way is know that this sceme exsists and hit a few tradies up that are MBA members, and let them trial you.. Get them to contact the MBA about an apprenticeship. I have had a few come through this scheme. But i knew the kids before we employed them. We still get them to go through the MBA thing. We are using another host for a new apprentice this time. They came out the other day to see how he's going. If you have no luck with the MBA, contact me and i'll get the number of this new mob that we are using.. All that aside.. when you get your apprenticeship.. work your butt off and listen to the tradies... In 4 years you'll be 1 of them http://www.masterbuilders.com.au/services/4_apprentice.html http://www.mbansw.asn.au/default.asp?id=88 http://www.mbansw.asn.au/default.asp?id=52 Hope this helps. -------------------- Don't hate me, cause you ain't me... :)
