Students from MGHS heard about 15 new mechanical and electrical apprenticeships available next year at Coal & Allied’s three operations, after the Hunter Valley coal producer spoke to local schools last week.
Apprentice Coordinator Don Cant said the company currently hosts more than 40 apprentices with training partner, NovaSkill, and is on the hunt for fresh talent.
“While our apprenticeships are open to anyone interested, we wanted to encourage local young people to apply” Mr Cant said.
“It’s important to us that our local students are aware of our apprenticeships, understand what a career with us entails, and can apply for them if they’re interested.”
Teen Honnery from MGHS said he is interested in undertaking an electrical apprenticeship and is going to apply for one with Coal & Allied. “The information session from Coal & Allied was really useful in supplying specific information about the company but also the diverse opportunities available in the wider mining industry,” Mr Honnery said.
Coal & Allied apprenticeship applications close COB Friday 24 June 2011. For more information about how to apply, contact Don Cant on 0429 124 999.

Congratulations to all the Maitland Grossmann High School students who achieved so well at the recent F1inSchools regional finals held at Panthers Newcastle. More than 70 students from six local high schools were involved in the event and they used their skills and imagination to design, build and race mini Formula One cars powered by CO2 gas. The Smoking Aces won the Pro Senior category and had the highest overall score for the event. Endurance Racing also performed very well and are in the running for a wildcard entry in the State Finals next month along with the Smoking Aces.
