  • performed ok during the work experience. At times, he lacks a little motivation. Just need to show a little more enthusiasm when helping the tradesman. That may been because he was new
  • performed well during work experience a little quiet at times but opened up when he got more comfortable with the surrounding and people.
  • is a really switched on 16-year-old. He really enjoyed the engineering trade but is still a little uncertain in want direction he wants to take. Has good general skills.
  • is a very smart and intelligent young man. He wasn’t really sure if he wanted to continue in the search for an apprenticeship. As he saw a four year commitment too long .
  • performed well with simpler task. At time struggled to follow instruction and when work about throughout the plant.
  • has a good understanding of the Industry from working on the family farm. A little quiet but that will come along with more interaction in the workplace.
