Testimonials
Mitch Wood
Being able to start working within weeks of finishing Year 12 meant that I was able to get a head start on my career and begin getting experiences most of my peers won’t see for another 4 years. Having to deal with issues in such a diverse and constantly changing environment really challenged me and gave me many opportunities to learn new technologies and the ways we can use them.
Christian Khattar
The traineeship has offered me the opportunity to gain first-hand work experience within the IT Industry. I was equipped with skills such as critical thinking, networking, problem solving and teamwork, all of which are a lifetime asset for a successful career. One of my best life experiences to date!
Michael Threlfo
The traineeship allowed me to expand my knowledge, education, and skills within IT, challenging me to do new things and to develop as a person, professionally and personally. The practical experience allowed me to get a foot in the door, faster than my friends who went to University. I would recommend the traineeship to anyone who would like to kick start their career in IT while still learning real-world skills.
Liam Cullican
I had a wonderful experience based in a large primary school and gained a great understanding of technology in real-world environment, while furthering my communication and social skills. The traineeship allowed me to get full time employment with CEDP and advance my skills even more. I would highly recommend the traineeship to anyone considering a career in IT or even those who are still unsure of what career path they are thinking of.
Kevin Mills
Many thanks for the email and congratulations on the 17th year of operation. This program from the office has been an excellent support to schools with a number of my trainees moving into supervising roles within CEDP. I thought I would also let you know how impressive my present person, Matthew Rahme is. Nothing is a problem and his manner with the staff is outstanding.
Serge Rosato
The longevity of the program and its success is by no small measure due to your shepherding and dedication. Thank you Linda. We are also very grateful for the allocation of Peter Harvey to STA next year 5 days per week. He is an excellent young man, polite, capable, communicative and dedicated. We feel blessed to have him back working in our team to improve the learning of kids and staff.
