Tom.
wouldn't it be more self motivating to go and ask your careers advisor at school? Lots of members have given you lots of info and options. Find out some stuff for yourself as well. Have you spoken to your parents about your plans? I have some advice for you though - don't join the Police. You need a diploma, hsc and/or a trade certificate if you don't have the previous two, so it is irrelevant at this time anyhow. Good luck. (Anyone know a refrigeration mechanic?) |

There is apprenticeships and traineeships you can do while at school and it all goes towards your HSC , but ask your Careers advisor and I,m glad you rang Dave he will help a lot if he thinks there is a trainee ship or apprenticeship available for you. He is actually the one that will be your overseer for TABMA.

Tom a classroom cant teach you the trades that you are targeting pursue these classroom trades & you'll find yourself caught up in the old I cant get a job cause I've got no on hand expirience syndrone. You cant substitute hands on expirience for a classroom --------------------  Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

JUMPY This is not one of the ones your thinking of , it's run by the members of the timber and associate industries , and they charge nothing to him but a small fee to the member for doing the work and taking the paperwork side of the apprenticeship away from the employer.
They do the overseering of the apprenticship etc and pay him direct not the employer, so at any time the employer has trouble fininacial he doesn't loss his apprenticeship the group finds a spot . -------------------- |

Irrelevant what these traineeships do oz, they are still a total waste of time.
I gather you dont get paid to do them ????? After all an apprenticeship is all about getting a job & people get a job to earn a living not to work for love. Again I'm refering to trades people & the trades Tom has signalled out , each employer has his own way of how he wants his appentices to turn out thats why that employerindentures his apprentice for the 4 year term. The 1st couple of years the apprentice virtually costs the employer money cause they're as usefull as tits are on a bull & the only benefit to employers are that the apprentice is cheap labour. In those 2 years alot of apprentices cant hack it either & want to change careers cause it's boring & they cop shite,but if they hang in there their 3rd year starts becoming alot better with the employer entrusting them to start working on their own giving them jobs of interest etc. Pluck one of these trinee's from school & what do you have ??? A 18 + yo who's as usefull as tits on a bull & thinks he knows something which is definately not the case Like I said not in the trades Tom has elected & he's better off gettiong a job somewhere else doing whatever till a apprentice position comes up, @ least that way he'll be earning a wage & have something of a job to put on his resamay. The impression I get is that school is a last resort & he's not really interested in attending it any further hence I deem it a waste of time it gets back to what I said earlier. If your hearts not in it then you shouldn't be doing it -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Just to give you all an update...
I went to a interview today for an appreticeship through one of them companies that look after everything for you and the employer, It looks promising, the bloke said my resume and school reports were excelent and he is keen to find me an apprenticeship, he told me he is going to speak to a plumbing company in my area and told me they should be able to give me one through it. Ive got an interview this saturday for railcorp and an interview on monday for a technology college were you do years 11+12 plus 1 year of your apprenticeship offer 2 years. Ive applied for over 20 aprenticeships now so before i apply for any more im just going to wait a month and see which companies get back to me about my applications. Cheers to everyone who has posted in this thread!!! |

Smarty Pants You better make sure that you remind any future employers to place their adds in the Yellow Pages. Else they'll make you wear a CHICKEN SUIT & stand out in the street doing the Chookens Dance
