Luke lives for the outdoors, and loves football, golfing, and racing. By undertaking an apprenticeship in
sports turf management, he is able to spend every day doing something he loves. Not everyone gets to say that!
Luke initially didn’t know what career path he wanted, commencing a business management degree that
he found uninspiring and the wrong option for him. Fortunately, Luke came across an advertisement for an apprenticeship opportunity with NextGen Jobs. The idea of working outdoors had strong appeal and the TAFE model of learning felt more relevant than continuing to sit in a classroom.
Working at Ringwood Golf, Maroondah City Council, Luke is able to work across 2 golf courses and 38
sports fields. When visiting Luke onsite, it is encouraging to hear him rate his level of workplace satisfaction
as a 10 out of 10!
Luke says that the best part of his apprenticeship is working outdoors and working with an amazing team,
and would recommend for anyone considering an apprenticeship to just go for it!
