Corey joins the ModnPods team

Congratulations to Corey, from our Gold Coast campus, who was recently signed-up as a school-based carpenter’s apprentice with ModnPods.

Since 2015, ModnPods has been providing prefabricated, modular housing and accommodation with an uncompromised commitment to quality and sustainability. The business creates sustainable pod housing and accommodation solutions for holiday parks, wineries, pastoral companies, schools and social housing.

Corey has just joined the amazing team and is ModnPod’s first AITC school-based apprentice. “We’re really excited about that,” says John Christie, Founder and CRO from ModnPods. “We have another work experience apprentice, Hannah, and she’s doing a phenomenal job.”

John says apprentices from the AITC stand out from other young people. The AITC “is all about shaping futures,” John explains. “AITC apprentices are extremely motivated. When Corey came on board, he embraced the entire team.” Corey has a strong entrepreneurial background, so “with all the growth that we have, and the scaling of the business, there’s a lot of areas Corey can grow in.” Corey will be looking to head into Year 12 in 2023 and complete his Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) at the AITC. “We’re all about longevity and we want to support that growth for him,” says John. “Anything Corey needs from us, whether it’s tools, leadership, training, we’re going to provide that for him.”

During the official sign-up Corey’s mum Karly was there, along with Corey’s Industry Consultant, other AITC staff and Kelli Wilson from MEGT. John says, “it was fantastic watching him sign all the contracts and the documents. We’re really excited to have Corey and Hannah on board.”

John is looking forward to having more AITC young people come and join the team. “We are looking for someone who is extremely motivated, willing to learn, who can embrace the team environment, because that’s who we are at ModnPods.”
