WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME AN APPRENTICE AT WESTRAC?

WesTrac is an exceptional company to do an apprenticeship with. They offer numerous opportunities throughout the apprenticeship program. WesTrac has a world class training facility located in Tomago (NSW) and a team of extremely intelligent trainers who have a mountain of knowledge between them and decades of experience.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO IN THE APPRENTICE PROGRAM?

I'm looking forward to making the most of every fantastic opportunity WesTrac offers me. WesTrac run an excellent apprenticeship program that provides me with a clear path to long-term employment and ongoing skills development.

WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING YOU HAVE LEARNED SINCE STARTING THE PROGRAM?

The most interesting thing I've learned so far would definitely have to be the methods WesTrac use to train their apprentices. They've nailed the perfect balance of hands-on training and traditional classroom-style teaching. Every day is different and exciting.

IF YOU COULD GIVE FUTURE APPRENTICES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Take every opportunity put in front of you. This job is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity - don't squander it.
