Hi all!
I’m trying to get in to do a mature apprenticeship (I just turned 30) trying to get into a career that I will enjoy doing.
The only problem I’m having is after applying and sending emails and calls I’m not getting anywhere.
I’m either getting “we arnt hiring apprentices at this time” to “the boss will get back to you “ but they never do after call after call and email.

I’ve even been applying for out of town for example I’m willing to travel 2 hours to the city if someone gave me a chance.

What am I doing wrong?
I’ve got a white card and reliable car and full license.

Hi all!
I’m looking at doing an mature apprenticeship as a sparky as a career change.
I spoke with the local tafe who said

1. I don’t need to do a cert 2
2. I need to find my own employer before starting.
3. They won’t help find an employer at all.

I’m just wondering if any of this is true? Far as I’ve researched I have to do a cert 2 before starting.
And they are advertising that they help you find an employer…

But since tafe for electrical is free for over 25 (which I am)
Would I be able to do cert 2 electrical tafe free?

The local tafe have been shocking to ask questions and don’t seem to know anything
