Meet Lucas – A Electrian Apprentice
Lucas is a Year 12 student at Wyndham Central College who’s already building his future as part of the AGA School-Based Apprenticeship Program, studying Electrotechnology (Certificate IV). One day a week, Lucas gains real-world experience with Rydec, learning directly from qualified A-Grade electricians.
He’s already developing valuable skills like reading electrical plans, understanding building layouts, and planning cable runs—all while still in school.
The best part? When Lucas finishes Year 12, he won’t need to apply for a new apprenticeship—he’ll move straight into his first year as a full-time apprentice with AGA. That puts him ahead of the game, skipping the usual pre-apprenticeship and job application process that others have to go through.
Even better—because Lucas started early, he’ll finish his apprenticeship 6 months sooner than others, qualifying in just 3.5 years instead of 4.
Lucas’s advice? Get in early, get ahead. If you want to kickstart your career while still at school, a school-based apprenticeship is a smart move. If you’ve ever thought about starting a trade, let Lucas’s journey inspire you and register now for information.
