Mark Page, TAFE Teacher

I love being able to pass on knowledge, skills, enthusiasm, and perhaps a bit of wisdom to the apprentices I teach. The many times I have worked with my students and the moment they 'get it', where they can understand and implement the knowledge or skill, is enormously satisfying. I also enjoy joining the students' journey through their apprenticeships, watching them grow in their skills, knowledge and confidence. The apprentices really love the practical learning and assessment more so than the theory side, and it is very satisfying seeing them complete their practical work. I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing it not only leads to achieving their goals, but also enabling them to find a secure place in the workforce.
