<h2>Lachlan</h2>
Since he was a kid, Lachlan has enjoyed working with hands&mdash;building and fixing things. &ldquo;I loved Lego!&rdquo; he says. So pursuing a career where he can, &ldquo;build, wire and test stuff&hellip;that really appeals to me&hellip;as opposed to just making money.&rdquo;
Lachlan is currently doing his electrotechnology pre-apprenticeship, officially called the Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Pre-vocational) at Box Hill Institute. His dad, who is an electrician, inspired him to choose this path.
Naturally, his favourite part of the course is being in the workshop. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been really enjoyable getting to do the hands-on stuff.&rdquo;
Apart from that, he cites the community-like environment at Box Hill Institute. &ldquo;The teachers have all been great. They&rsquo;re all really lovely and really nice to you. It&rsquo;s also nice to meet other blokes who are like-minded.&rdquo;
According to him, his teachers are genuinely invested in his future. &ldquo;Even though I&rsquo;m here to do a pre-app, they&rsquo;re all focused on &lsquo;how can we get you an apprenticeship?&rsquo; and &lsquo;how can we make you into the best sparky?&rsquo;&rdquo; In one instance, his instructor was supportive when he has to leave class for a job interview.
When it comes to practising his skills, Lachlan has found the emphasis on safety the most valuable thing he&rsquo;s learnt. &ldquo;Electrical, obviously is one of the more dangerous trades. And I&rsquo;ve been taught that there might be a best way, but the safest way is more important,&rdquo; he says.
What are Lachlan&rsquo;s career goals? &ldquo;Well, I&rsquo;d like to finish my apprenticeship in the lift industry and then upskill so that I&rsquo;m sort of able to work in lots of different areas.&rdquo;
