"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 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."
