Automotive Electrician - Andrew
Description of Job:
I repair vehicles that have usually broken down.
Experiences:
My father was a mechanic.
Opportunities:
Family help.
Education:
I hated school and rebelled.
Training:
I was trained through the CIT (Canberra Institute of
Technology) for my trade. My training took three years at CIT part time.
I found my trade training different to my school years because I was doing something that
I enjoyed and was interested in rather than something I had to do.
Employment:
Having a trade always helps in employment and therefore
income. I can't remember my first pay.
I do think about retirement and am trying to prepare.
I repair vehicles that have usually broken down, so people usually notice and appreciate
it.
Development:
I am given no productivity incentives and no on the job training is provided at present.
