Our 2nd Apprentice "Dhan Gurung" was is a finalist this year for FNQ Training Awards in the category of "Equity VET Student". We are so proud of him and his on going life achievements.
Almost 30 years ago Dhan and his family were driven out of there homeland Bhutan and ended up in Nepalese refugee camp. Although a much safer place to be in, he and his family lived in this dusty over crowded camp for 26 years. During his time there he became a supervisor in the construction industry. In 2015 he and his family applied for resettlement in Australia. 2 years later the Australian Government approved their request. Fast forward to 2019, Dhan who is doing his Certificate III in Solid Plastering with Mark Fletcher was recognized by one of our contractors "Prime Construction" on the Crystal-brook job sites for his hard work and nominated him for the Queensland Training Awards "Equity VET Student of the Year". We are so proud of his accomplishment. It goes to show that if you set goals and work at them, you will achieve.
