Presenter: It gives me great pleasure to announce the
winner of the Australian School-based Apprentice of the Year is Joel, Joel Schwarz.
Joel Schwarz: I don't know what they saw in me! It must
have been a bit of commitment, passion I suppose, is probably what they are looking for, as
well as showing leadership qualities. I believe I have those qualities and I do exercise them
regularly. Just have a go, absolutely have a go, if you
have the passion for it, just get in and have a go, it is not a full on commitment, you
go in there, you enrol in your training, you can be doing your schooling as well. It is
a really good taster, and it is really good because you are earning and learning. That
is the phrase that sums it up, earning and learning!
The ATAs have been amazing, just the journey from filling out the forms in March for the
state one and then getting the phone call for the interview. To go from that, and to
win the state one and then to come here and experience the whole week of networking and
personal development and sightseeing has just been an amazing experience. And then to come
away with a win its just mind boggling, so, just have a go, it is a great experience.
