AITC student named School-Based Apprentice of the Year

Congratulations to AITC 2022 graduate Ella O’Shannessy who was awarded the TAFE School-based Apprentice of the Year.

Ella came into our Year 10 program on the Gold Coast in 2020 as a rising star and was an exemplary student. Ella is completing a bricklaying apprenticeship and has a very promising career ahead despite her initial hurdles. Ella’s employer struggled during COVID and Ella had to find another so she could continue her apprenticeship. Unperturbed by the challenges, Ella reconnected with her bricklaying teacher from TAFE and networked her way to another opportunity. She found a great opportunity and is now signed-up with Bluemoon Bricklaying Pty Ltd. She graduated with her QCE and full time employment. We couldn’t be prouder of Ella and know she’ll continue to go from strength to strength.
