Aaron knew that working with his hands in the plumbing trade was for him after doing work experience in the small country town of Warracknabeal while at Secondary College. Now in the third year of his Certificate III in Plumbing and apprenticeship with Quick Plumbing in Warracknabeal, Aaron works on a diverse range of residential projects from roofing and hot water services to home renovations and sewer blockages. I really enjoyed the hands-on work and was lucky enough to be offered an apprenticeship after working part-time with my work experience host over the school holidays. I enjoy my job as I m working on different jobs all the time and my surroundings change each day. I chose to study at The Gordon initially because I have family to stay with here and I m glad I did the teachers and facilities are great.
