Why did you choose an apprenticeship in refrigeration?
I learnt about refrigeration as a trade through my electrical pre-apprenticeship course which sparked my interest and led to me searching for a refrigeration apprenticeship instead. I was lucky enough to have already been working for Woolworths when I saw an opening for their apprenticeship program so I jumped at the opportunity.
What’s the best thing about the trade?
It’s an ever-evolving trade and it’s not something you could ever “master” or get bored of as it is always changing. Also, being on the install side of the trade, the team that we get to work alongside on a daily basis really makes the job that much better.
What advice would you give someone considering the trade?
Always ask questions. If you see someone using a tool that could make your job easier, when you can afford it, buy it! Build good relationships with the people you work with and they will invest their time and knowledge back into you.
