SMGT made a visit to the the Senior College Monday 7th March 2022 where they were able to sit down and speak with Nick Goodieson (Work Place Transition Coordinator) on what current vacancies we have going and how we can engage the students to help them when applying for Traineeships / Apprenticeships through SMGT.

Nick spoke to Danica and Reece about three particular students that are ready to leave school and hopefully gain an Apprenticeship in a field that best fits them. Both Danica and Reece were able to sit down with the students and have a genuine conversation about why they were looking at leaving school, what their interests were, and what vacancies we currently have up and running.

All three students were able to fill out and complete a registration form which allowed the SMGT team to have a closer at their interests and matched them up where we could with our current vacancies.

From that, all three students resumes were passed onto current hosts to look over. One of the students was given an opportunity to attend a interview with a host in Painting and Decorating.

Overall the visit to the Senior College was a great outcome. The SMGT team will be up at the Mildura Senior College each week to speak with the students and eventually get the host seat back up and running. This will allow students to stop by and speak to a team member to discuss Traineeships / Apprenticeships, what they might be interested in and how we can help.

SMGT looks forward to working alongside the Senior College and help out where we can.
