P-TECH Report
By Mrs Kris Hunter
“Damien has a traineeship”
We all like a good news story...
It was great to catch up with former student Damien Bowers recently. Damien studied a Certificate III in IT at the Gordon while at NSC. He was lucky enough to do two years of hands on work placement at our P-TECH industry partner Opteon Property Group.
Following this Damien sought out further voluntary work experience to “keep his hand in” at another of our industry partners - the Geelong Technology Group.
Damien’s initiative and drive paid off! In November last year Damien was offered a traineeship at Geelong Technology Group.
Congratulations Damien and good luck with your future career.
Thanks again Opteon Property Group and Geelong Technology Group for your ongoing support of our students.
