Graduated: 2016

Tyler enjoys working in the Engineering workshop and says that the tutors are really helpful and easy to approach. “I want to work on a farm in the future and the skills I’m learning now, like welding, will be really helpful.
“Trades is a great opportunity – you learn more skills here in a shorter time than at school. You can make mistakes and then you’re helped to fix them.”
