Apprentice Profile – Karyn
‘I had two children during my apprenticeship with Endeavour Energy and they provided the flexibility I needed to be a mum and complete my trade. Endeavour Energy were very supportive during my pregnancies, while on parental leave and when returning to work and adjusting to being a working mum. It was only because of Endeavour’s support and flexibility around my particular situation that I was able to successfully complete my apprenticeship and gain a permanent role as a Trades woman at Endeavour’

Natasha Stanic, 28 yrs
Mother of two girls aged six and seven years, Tash previously worked in retail and warehousing.
"What I love about my apprenticeship is being active and physical, I especially like climbing.
I think it’s a great career for a female. It’s not a glamorous job as you at times have to get dirty but it’s exciting to learn about the amazing and intricate network industry.
The qualities needed are great enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, endurance and a can-do attitude."
Murray Flewin, 19 yrs
Murray joined Endeavour Energy straight from High School.
"I have enjoyed being hands-on working in the field almost right from the start, particularly when I compare my job with apprentices in other industries.
It’s a big challenge keeping on top of the TAFE work as it is a three year course compressed into two years. But this is great as it means we finish a year early in the classroom and can spend our final year in the field."
