One opportunity can open the door to an entirely new future.  During National Skills Week, we loved seeing EWIT share Zoe’s journey from an EWIT program with Greater Western Water to pursuing a career in plumbing.  Now undertaking a school-based apprenticeship with Melbourne Polytechnic and working with Pure Plumbing, Zoe is building her skills, confidence and future in the trades.  We're proud to celebrate Zoe’s journey and the incredible pathways that VET can create.  📸 Reposted from @ewitrades

"We can't believe the talent we found by doing something like this."  A careers teacher in the Hunter Valley walked into the local industrial estate and knocked on doors. One by one. Asking businesses to come into the school and meet the students and their parents.  Paul Reynolds runs an engineering company that had never taken on a work experience student or a school based apprentice. They said yes to a kid named James.  Work experience became a school based apprenticeship. The apprenticeship became a job offer.  Talent pipelines do not build themselves. Someone has to knock on the door.
