Energy Super's apprentice returns
Energy Super has welcomed back fourth year electrical apprentice Mitchell Murray, who was chosen to represent Electro Group in the UK last month.
Murray is the first apprentice to participate in the International Electrical Apprenticeship Exchange Program (IEAEP), a joint initiative between Electro Group Queensland and the Joint Industry Board.
The IEAEP allows a fourth year apprentice the opportunity to travel and work in a host company's country for up to 6 weeks each alternative year.
"Once I'm finished my apprenticeship, I intend to work in the mining or industrial sector of the electrical industry and eventually get into project management," Murray said.
Murray was given the opportunity to work for UK-based technical support firm SPIE Matthew Hall, electrical services firm JBrand, and independent building services firm NG Bailey.
Energy Super chief executive Robyn Petrou said the fund's industry sponsorship program focused on fostering the next generation of electrical and energy contractors.
"By supporting various energy industry initiatives, including Electro Group's exchange program, we're investing in the next generation of energy employees and ensuring they're equipped with the best skills possible to enjoy a successful career and secure their financial future," said Petrou.
Energy Super - which launched on 1 April 2011 following the merger of ESI Super and SPEC Super - is a $3.8 billion industry super fund with 45,000 members across Australia.
