Cohen Young and Alexander Goldsmith are among 25 apprentices and trainees from around Australia chosen to participate in the National Apprentice Employment Network’s 2024 Today’s Skills: Tomorrow’s Leaders (TSTL) program.
The Governor-General, Her Excellency The Honourable Sam Mostyn, met the pair at Government House yesterday as she launched the program, which has helped 250 apprentices and trainees since it started in 2004.
The week-long intensive residential program includes career development and leadership training.
Cohen is an apprentice in Electronics and Communications at Qinetiq in Melbourne, while Alexander is undertaking a Diploma of Applied Technologies traineeship through Power Plastics in Sydney.

“We are proud as an organisation to help train people and support employers who are desperate to fill vacancies."
