“I’m really happy with what I’ve been able to study within vocational education at MacKillop. I’ve been able to gain industry experience through my Australian School-Based Apprenticeship, which I take part in two days per week. It’s a Women in Construction pathways program that lets me do electrical, carpentry, project management, landscaping, and plumbing. At school, I’m taking courses in Construction and Hospitality through the Trades Training Centre to gain vocational certificates and qualifications. After school, I want to do carpentry in the Army, before one day starting my own carpentry business or opening a café. The vocational pathway has given me lots of options and opportunities to work towards those things, and will hopefully give me a head start in my career.”
