Student Profile
Electrical work had interested Travis from
a young age and realising he had a natural
flair for hands-on work he says it was a
‘no-brainer’ that he pursued a trade career.
Travis started his Gordon studies at GTEC
(Geelong Technical Education Centre),
where he was able to formalise his learning
about the electrical trade (completing a
Certificate II in Electrotechnology) while at
the same time completing VCAL. His hard
work paid off and Travis was able to pick up
an electrical apprenticeship quickly and
move straight into studying the Certificate III
in Electrotechnology.
“
I’m lucky to have put my head down
and done the work early – I’ll be a
fully qualified electrician next year and I’m
only 21.
Take advantage of all the resources and
services at The Gordon. The teachers have
a huge variety of knowledge and are always
willing to go that extra mile.
“
My ultimate career goal is to one day run
a big team of electricians for my own
established company.
