Careers
Apprenticeship Scholarships given
Recently the Country Education Foundation held a presentation evening to award nine young local apprentices with funding to help them achieve their vocational and study goals.
The evening was held at Cowra Services Club and provided the opportunity for the CEF Cowra committee to meet the recipients and find out more about their career goals.
Funds awarded to the students were raised through the committee's fudraising events, the CEF's national office's partnerships and independent local donations.
Successful applicants were Patrick Ryan (Building & Construction), Nathan Dale (Agricultural Mechanical Technology), Keagan Hunt (Hairdressing), Toby Apps (Plumbing) and Thomas Treasure (Automotive Engineering), all students that had attended Cowra High in recent years.
Patrick, who attends TAFE two days every three weeks and apprentices with Bernie Wilkinson Building, had been previously unaware of the CEF Grants for apprentices. "I knew about the local grants because I'd heard about them through Cowra High but didn't realise that apprentices could apply. It was really good news when I learnt that I could get a grant as well, like the university students do. Most of the tools and equipment I need for my job and TAFE are pretty expensive so the grant will really help me pay for those. I don't know where I'd be without that assistance."
Other recipients of the grants that were unable to attend the night were Lanty Ryan (Plastering), Joe Treasure (Electrotechnology), Brandon Dickerson (Plumbing) and Ashleigh Stone (Business).
Cowra High School wishes to congratulate on receiving these grants and wishes them all well with their future career goals.
