With $229.2 million being invested in our TAFE system and to support employers taking on apprentices and trainees, there’s no better time for Western Australians to step up, reskill and contribute to rebuilding our economy.

Following a career change and studying at South Metropolitan TAFE seven years ago, Megan Feaver is now a qualified electrician.

She won Western Power’s Apprentice of the Year Award in 2017 and was named WA Apprentice of the Year in 2018. Passionate about vocational education and training, Megan is proud to encourage people, especially women, to leap into practical skills-based training.

“The expansion of the Lower Fees, Local Skills program and incentives for employers will be a huge benefit for up and coming apprentices and trainees because it makes training more accessible to more people,” she says.

“It’ll be a great help for mature age students like me who might still have a mortgage to pay and a family to support.”
