Blake is currently working one day a week in the business and said he is enjoying the work, especially learning directly under the experienced guidance of his father, Aaron. He will soon commence his Certificate III in Carpentry at Wodonga TAFE to further develop his skills.

Aaron, both father and supervisor, shared that it is invaluable for young people to gain real industry experience early and that opportunities like Head Start provide a pathway he wished had been available when he was at school. He also acknowledged Blake’s commitment, saying his son has truly earned the chance to start his apprenticeship.

Tracey Jacobs from MEGT Apprenticeships added, “It is fantastic to work with 麻豆精选 and the Head Start program, as it provides a strong pathway for the next generation of tradespeople.”

Head Start Coordinator, Shane Crispin, highlighted the importance of recognising that family-run businesses are playing a vital role in the success of SBATs. “It is a common misconception that young people cannot complete an SBAT in a relative’s business. In fact, across our region we currently have 12 students undertaking their apprenticeship or traineeship with family. These partnerships are an excellent example of how families can actively support young people to explore and establish their careers.”

Congratulations to Blake for showing initiative and using his family connections in such a positive way to begin his career journey. A special thank you to Aaron, Sarah, and the team at Aaron Byrne Building, along with MEGT, for supporting these exciting opportunities for our young people.

For information on School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs), please contact Head Start Coordinator, Shane Crispin.

Having the support of Shane from the Head Start SBAT program to make it happen and support from Tony from ASA Apprenticeships for the young apprentices is invaluable. 鈥�

Congratulations to Hayley and the whole team at Head Office Hair Suite. We can鈥檛 wait to see where Allie鈥檚 passion for hairdressing will take her!

The best part was getting to chat directly with the people who build and own these machines: a highly modified Honda Civic race car and a tightly controlled, open-wheeled Formula V car. This face-to-face time was priceless.

The students weren’t just watching; they were asking questions and soaking up heaps of insider info. They learned about how air flows over the Formula V to keep it stable, the tough materials used in the Civic, and how tiny adjustments to the suspension make a huge difference.

The owners even talked about how they’re always solving problems and using data to make their cars perform perfectly. Seeing how eager the VET students were to talk to the car owners really showed how much they got out of it and how this experience connected their studies to the work of motorsport.
