We know these are trying times and taking career decisions have become particularly challenging, given how things are constantly changing because of the coronavirus pandemic. There is uncertainty about the growth potential in certain industries and there is much debate about what skills and occupations are going to be around in the future. One thing is for certain, and that’s hands-on experience and specialised skills are going to give you or your kids a huge advantage in the real world while looking for job opportunities. And that’s where VET and Apprenticeship pathways come in.
To provide some clarity for future job seekers, we have started a job of the month series, and the featured job this month is – Fitters and Turners.
