Thank you for your reply. I can see your valid point here. I have been accepted into studying the Diploma of Aeroskills (Avionics). However, I need an apprenticeship. I am in ADL, so there appears to be less opportunity here than in SYD for example where QF have apprenticeships advertised. Government incentives are being offered to companies and trainees to assist with the "reported" shortage of aircraft maintenance workers within Australia.... Along with the state government subsidising the fee 100% for the Cert IV avionics and mechanical through TAFESA. Therefore, the current employment opportunities and feedback from those within the industry contradict the governments forecast for an impending need for A/C maintenance worker/ engineers. Is anyone able to shed light on apprenticeship opportunities or even ADL information?
