Why ‘taking careers further’ is such an easy task for Gary:
“I first became interested in the group training industry as a mature aged apprentice when I had the opportunity to help a fellow apprentice who was struggling with her training and was considering dropping out. I helped her complete her apprenticeship and she then progressed on to start her own business in Melbourne. I got a great deal of self satisfaction out of helping her and the outcome that was achieved which led me to work towards a career in this industry. I still get a great deal of enjoyment out of helping apprentices and trainees achieve their desired goals."

Why ‘taking careers further’ is such an easy task for Steve:
"After getting so much out my own trade throughout my career, I felt it was time to put back in. 25 years ago apprenticeships were quite different to how they are today (which is a good thing). By mentoring apprentices through this challenging time I hope to assist each individual reach their goals in the smoothest way possible. A trade qualification means a job for life. It provides a solid platform to build on but also to fall back on. Seeing each individual obtain their qualification provides a great sense of personal reward, it’s why I love this job."
