Apprenticeships
+ Traineeships
Apprenticeships and traineeships are a great way to kickstart
your career and gain a nationally recognised qualification.
LEAP IN WITH THE LEADER
A SWTAFE apprenticeship or traineeship is a partnership between you,
your employer and SWTAFE.
Your employer will teach you skills on-the-job while SWTAFE provides
formal training.
This allows you to learn from qualified academic staff, as well as
someone who is an expert in the industry in which you’re interested.
If you’re still at school you can undertake a school-based
apprenticeship or traineeship while completing VCE or VCAL.
SWTAFE also provide lots of opportunities for mature aged workers.
YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN
Apprenticeships and traineeships can commence at
any time. The first step is to find a business to employ
you, then a local Australian Apprenticeship Support
Network needs to register your Training Contract with

Matt Baxter
CERTIFICATE III IN AGRICULTURE
MATT Baxter grew up on a dairy farm at The Sisters so working in the
agricultural industry was always going to be a natural progression.
“Working in this industry was something I have wanted to do all my life,"
he said.
Matt completed a Certificate III in Agriculture at South West TAFE while
he was still at high school and also worked one day a week at Banquet
Angus Stud in Mortlake.
“I’ve grown up with cattle and I’ve always known
that’s what I was going to do. I definitely love that
I’ve been able to turn it into a career,” Matt said.
Straight after finishing school Matt was offered a full-time job as a
livestock agent at Charles Stewart & Co. in Camperdown.
Matt, 19, now spends his days travelling across the region, meeting with
farmers and buying and selling cattle for clients.
“I get to meet a lot of people which is the best part of my job.
“My job is to basically get the farmers the best possible price for their
livestock. It’s so rewarding when you achieve a high cattle price for your
clients and it’s great that you can make people happy with your work,”
he said.
Matt said the course was really broad, and as a result there were lots of
places it could take you.

14 SWTAFE | COURSE GUIDE 2018Dom Currer
CERTIFICATE II IN BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
Persistance and hard work has paid off for Dom Currer, who
has just landed his dream job as an apprentice with Bryan
and Petersen Quality Builders.
“I was onto getting an apprenticeship really early in the year
and I’m really loving what I’m doing,” Dom said.
After finishing year 12, Dom completed a traineeship in
learning support at Emmanuel College where he realised a
career in teaching wasn’t for him.
Dom said he then looked into studying nursing at South West
TAFE but instead found that a pre-apprenticeship sparked his
interest.
“I had always liked hands-on things and I love being outside
so I thought I’d give it a crack,” he said.
Dom said it was the best decision he had
made and the pre-apprenticeship had
allowed him to transition smoothly into an
apprenticeship at Bryan and Petersen.
“If I went straight into an apprenticeship I think I would have
felt lost, but the skills I had learnt from my pre-apprenticeship
really set me up,” he said.
Dom said he knew it was an industry he wanted to stay in and
he had South West TAFE to thank for his job.
“Our teachers were always telling us about job opportunities.
With their industry contacts and recommendations, they were
so helpful in motivating all of us,” he said.

VCAL
THE skills Jordyn Arundell has gained while completing her
VCAL studies at South West TAFE have lead her into a full-time
traineeship at Warrnambool City Council.
Jordyn has recently started work in the council’s environment team
and is finishing off her VCAL studies at the same time.
She said she had always had an interest in conservation and her VCAL
studies had given her the confidence to apply for the position.
“VCAL has given me work ready hands-on skills
and also helped me socially,” Jordyn said.
Jordyn supported herself financially while at TAFE and said she was
looking forward to receiving a steady income in her new job.
As part of her VCAL studies, Jordyn completed food handling and
responsible service of alcohol certificates which lead her to part-time
employment at a local restaurant.
“I wouldn’t have gotten the job without those certificates,” she said.
Jordyn’s teachers said during her studies she had demonstrated
maturity, leadership and perseverance, particularly when she took on
the role of the lead organiser in the South West TAFE student ball in
October last year.
Jordyn has overcome a range of challenges in her life whilst
maintaining a positive and passionate outlook on life and is
looking forward to finishing her VCAL studies in between her work
