| AE Smith is bursting with pride at the recognition garnered by two of its plumbing apprentices in the recent Awards Night at Holmesglen College of TAFE in Melbourne. Held on May 13th, the Awards Night saw 1st Year Apprentice, Steven Cole (above centre) awarded Best Certificate II Mechanical Services 2009 in the trade of plumbing, while AE Smith 3rd Year Apprentice, David Jones (above right) took home the award for Best Second Year Mechanical Plumbing Apprentice 2009, also in the trade of plumbing. Both David and Steven were recruited by AE Smith from the pre-apprenticeship program at Holmesglen in 2008 and 2009 respectively, after having completed work experience on a range of projects with the company as part of the program. Both were in their twenties when they decided to pursue their interest in the mechanical services industry, having previously been involved in other careers. Ric Mitchell (above left), AE Smith Site Manager at the New Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital “RACAH” AE Smith/AG Coombs Joint Venture project said the awards were well deserved, with both apprentices having demonstrated great maturity in their time with the company and a genuine keenness to learn all aspects of the industry. “We take enormous pride in seeing these young men recognised for their hard work, and their commitment to excellence – something AE Smith prides itself on across all areas.” |
