G'day everyone
My work for the past 4 and a half years has been in the Army as an infantryman, last year I was promoted and received a Cert 3 in leadership and Training. I'd decided at the start of this year that I didn't want to go any further with my career and wanted to get into a trade, but not with the army because I wanted my freedom back. (Start of the year was when I discovered the red pill as well)
I've moved to Brisbane recently and have applied for an apprenticeship as an electrician through a few companies, however it seems they all won't be starting until January next year. I have considered going into carpentry or cabinet making as well but one thing I've noticed is the job ads always say juniour wages apply.
I know our Gov't provides incentives to companies to hire adult workers looking to re-skill, but I thought I'd ask around and see if there's anyone who's taken the same route I have in getting a trade at a later age and if you'd have any pointers in getting your foot in the door despite your age
cheers
