It’s fantastic to see businesses like The Drake Group supporting the next generation of trades professionals, with an impressive 10% of their workforce being apprentices! We’re grateful to be a part of their journeys. 🎉

Meet electrical apprentices Jessica Hill and Tahlia Mundy. Starting out in a male-dominated trade wasn’t easy, but when they were employed by Ozora Energy, Jess and Tahlia were given every opportunity to grow and were encouraged to join the New Energy Apprenticeships Mentoring Program. With the support of their mentor, Janus, they’re expanding their knowledge and industry connections and excelling at what they love. From rewiring homes to building trust with clients, both Jess and Tahlia are kicking goals in their apprenticeships. “We’re not just electricians; we’re craftspeople,” they say - and it shows. Keep up the great work girls. 🙌

On Australia Day 2025, MEGT pays tribute to the apprentices and trainees whose families have come from all corners of the globe to help build our workforce. The skills and different perspectives they bring continue to ensure a pipeline of skills which are the cornerstone of a strong future Australia.

After facing several personal challenges, apprentice Lucy found the support she needed through her MEGT mentor, Sam. Helping Lucy navigate conversations with her employer, and providing referrals to various types of financial assistance, Sam was there every step of the way. “Sam is an absolute treasure! During a particularly challenging time in my personal life, Sam went above and beyond to support me”, Lucy said.

Nine Trading Futures participants have recently successfully completed the program, emerging with renewed confidence and on the right track for a brighter future. While incarcerated, many of these individuals felt disconnected from vital life skills such as teamwork, effective communication, and problem-solving. Recognising this gap, the Trading Futures program set out to provide a structured pathway to help these individuals regain and enhance these crucial skills. Through various exercises and real-life scenarios, participants practiced communication and honed their ability to express themselves clearly and listen actively. Graduates expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the course. One participant shared, "This course has given me back the tools I need to rebuild my life. I feel ready to face the world again, with confidence and support from my peers and mentors." Find out more about the Trading Futures program at https://lnkd.in/g5Z2YGvN
