I’ve had a great experience with GetCareers during my industrial electrical apprenticeship. The support has been consistent and reliable, and Georgia, my field officer, has been especially helpful – always checking in and making sure I stay on track. Their guidance and pre-apprenticeship course has made a big difference in my training and confidence on the job.”

Iluka’s South West Operations are proud to have held a long-standing partnership with GetCareers, supporting our mechanical and electrical apprentices based at our North Capel site. Georgia and the team provide an outstanding service, regularly communicating with apprentices, line leaders and management to ensure a high-quality program. In 2024, our North Capel site won the AEN award for Host Employer of the Year, with one apprentice a finalist for Apprentice of the Year – recognition made possible thanks to GetCareers’ support.”

I was shocked to receive a text from Trudy Robinson the day after New Year’s Day – at first, I thought it was spam! Surely no one would be looking for an apprentice straight after Christmas. But after meeting with Trudy, I quickly saw how committed and invested she was in helping me. She explained what GetCareers does and her role, and I knew I was in the right hands. Thanks to her perseverance, I signed my cabinet making apprenticeship contract in February.If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be working in a factory as an apprentice in Malaga, I would’ve said you were insane – but here I am, and I absolutely love getting up for work at 6am! In a male-dominated industry, I expected a few hiccups, but with Trudy’s ongoing support and mentoring, I’ve been able to work through any challenges.GetCareers and Trudy have changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for her commitment. I’ve already referred GetCareers to others and will continue to do so.”

We have had numerous apprentices through GetCareers and have always found them to go above and beyond in supporting both the apprentice and the host employer. They take care of all the paperwork and organisation for the apprentice, allowing us to focus on teaching them on the job. We will continue to use GetCareers for future apprentices and highly recommend them to anyone looking to take one on.”

I was warmly welcomed to GetCareers and given the right amount of information to understand who I’d be employed by and what I’d be doing throughout my plumbing apprenticeship, from first to fourth year. If I ever had any issues with my contract, I could always rely on the team at GetCareers for support. The service I’ve received from Trudy is greatly appreciated – everything I need is handled straight away.”

Before connecting with GetCareers, I had a hard time finding an apprenticeship and a pretty tough experience with a previous employer who didn’t manage my pay or admin properly. Since joining GetCareers, everything has been smooth and well-organised. They take care of the paperwork, are easy to get in touch with, and I’ve felt genuinely supported throughout my apprenticeship.”

GetCareers has provided valuable assistance to us with several apprentices over the years, significantly easing the burden associated with paperwork and coordinating TAFE units. Their support has been extremely beneficial. Given that the roofing industry currently faces a shortage of apprentices, the more apprentices we can attract and train through partnerships with organisations like GetCareers, the more we can ensure the ongoing quality of workmanship in our industry.”

GetCareers has been very supportive during my apprenticeship. They have helped me feel confident and kept me on track allowing me to grow in my role. The training GetCareers provided helped me build necessary job skills and connect with others. I’m extremely grateful for their support.”
