Gordon Automotive Pre- Apprenticeship student, Dylan Webber was today presented with his Sidchrome Tool Box, kindly donated by Victorian Automotive Forum.
The 12 week Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation program, gets students ready to take on mechanical apprenticeships, arming them with the communication and practical skills that employers are looking for.
This program commenced in the middle of the COVID pandemic which meant students first interactions with The Gordon were via Zoom. Dylan found this a little bit of a challenge but once he was able to attend classes at East Campus and get hands-on, he thrived. The Gordon and a support worker at Diversitat were always there along the way, checking in and supporting Dylan’s learning.
During the Pre App, Dylan undertook a trial and officially starts work on January 8, 2021. Congratulations Dylan we wish all the best in your career as a mechanic, you’re a deserving recipient of the amazing new toolkit!
