The steam trains may be few and far between these days, but the romance of railways and moving stock remain firm favourites of boys of all ages. It’s just as fascinating for many girls as well.

And Guy Lennard has the chance to play with the real stuff while he is still at school.

It is with great pleasure that RailCon in conjunction with CERT (Centre of Excellence in Rail Training), MEGT, Illawarra Work Place Learning and Lake Illawarra High School announces the successful signing of contracts for Guy Lennard to become the first NSW school-based trainee to undertake a Certificate II in Transport and Logistics (Rail Infrastructure)( TLI20707).

Guy’s hands-on work and his studies will cover equipment checking and maintenance, operating a four wheel drive vehicle and on-track self-propelled equipment, load handling, safety, teamwork, communication skills, resource management, equipment security, construction and a whole lot of other cool stuff.

No doubt he will be the envy of all the school. Guy is supported in his traineeship by Alison Langham, Jenny Watts and David Harris. We wish him the very best.

Australian Apprenticeships are an Australian Government initiative.
