Earlier this year our Year 12 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ Senior Secondary College student Brodie Callow participated in work experience at ITL Painting Services in ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. Guided by the WSSC Careers team Garry Brook, Brodie took a keen interest in engaging in a work placement trying his hand at painting as this aligned with Brodies hands on learning skills.
Working with Shane Crispin Head Start SBAT Coordinator he has since been able to become part of the professional ITL Painting Services via a Head Start School Based Apprenticeship after the success of the work experience placement where Brodie displayed great skills.
Brodie is currently working three days a week with ITL and at the end of this school year will go into a full-time apprenticeship with them continuing also with Murray Mallee Training Company in the Certificate III in Painting & Decorating qualification.
Brodie said he was unsure of what he was going to do after school and now his SBAT has helped him really set him up. His Employer Troy said I think the Head Start SBAT model is great because it provides support for Brodie this year and his first year out of school something not heard of before. Troy also said It places his business ahead of the end of year apprentice recruiting rush and provides Brodie with a clear plan.
Congratulations Brodie on using your initiative in taking on this pathway and we thank Troy, ITL Painting Services team for providing these life changing opportunities for our young people.
