“
I enjoy working on cars of any
sort, and the pre-apprenticeship
at The Gordon gave me the
starting blocks to fulfil my
passion. I learnt so many things
I never knew, the teachers and
students were great, and I really
enjoyed all the new skills. Just
before I finished my pre-
apprenticeship, I was offered a
job at Geelong Mazda. It was a
bit nerve racking, but the course
gave me the confidence to take
on anything. I’m now a full-time
apprentice mechanic and love
going to a job that I enjoy every
day. I was the only female
mechanic when I started, but
they made me feel really
welcome and part of the team. I
spend one week at The Gordon
every 1-2 months for on-campus
training, which is a nice change
from the workplace. I can work
at my own pace and the
teachers are really helpful and
knowledgeable.”
