Today I chat with Marlee Morris who is a second year apprentice completing her Certificate III in Carpentry with Master Builders Australia.

We chat about the advantages of being a mature age apprentice in the trade industry and some alternative pathways into trade. 

This episode is the first in a series of upcoming episodes focusing on mature age apprentices and women working in trades into their 30s and 40s. With the ever changing economy, tradies are now considered to be one of the best positioned professionals financially going into the future where multiple occupations will be looking to be outsources to AI. There is no better time to be taking on a trade, and the stability of a mature age apprentice who is committed to completing their qualification is an investment more and more companies are seeking out.
