Certificate III in Carpentry
Training Provider: TasTAFE
Employer: VEC Civil Engineering
After commencing a Carpentry apprenticeship as a school leaver, Sophie knew this was the profession for her. The fact that she is now a qualified tradesperson, working for the company she completed her carpentry apprenticeship through speaks volumes to the passion she has for this industry. Being based out of a regional centre on the North West Coast meant work opportunities were hard to come by however Sophie managed to complete her apprenticeship early and was offered an ongoing job with VEC. Sophie says, “Whether I am working in the pre-cast facility in Ulverstone, or in the snow on the west coast of Tasmania, the training I received from TAFE Tasmania has put me in an excellent position to succeed.” Sophie will represent Tasmania at the Australian Training Awards in Perth, in November.
