How the Snowy 2.0 pre-employment program is empowering communities
In the fourth and final instalment of our Infrastructure in Action Podcast series, Snowy 2.0 Training & HR Mobilisation Manager, Aaron Reid, and electrical apprentice, Tenesha Baker, discuss how the Snowy 2.0 Project in Australia is positively impacting local communities for generations to come through creating opportunities for careers in infrastructure.
As the manager responsible for the project’s pre-employment training program, Aaron describes how his experience working with indigenous communities and passion for helping others to reach their potential inspired him to join the Future Generation Joint Venture team.
For those listening that might be interested in learning new skills and being part of one of Australia’s iconic infrastructure projects, Aaron explains how to apply for the pre-employment training program. According to Aaron, the most important attributes for those considering such a career change are self-belief, perseverance and the willingness to sacrifice a little bit today for greater rewards tomorrow.
A proud member of the local Wiradjuri community, Tenesha talks to Aaron about her career journey.
Encouraged by her parents, Tenesha left the retail sector after 10 years for a job on the project as a cleaner before finding her calling as an electrical apprentice. Now, one year into her apprenticeship, Tenesha wishes she had found electrical engineering earlier and encourages others from her community to consider taking on new skills and even pursue a career in infrastructure with the project.
Tenesha describes the work as tough, but rewarding, and she is excited about the opportunities it has opened up for her future.
