A new apprenticeship
Currently completing his Year 12 studies at Gregory Terrace, Marcus will work under the guidance of Russell Davidson, an expert craftsman known for high-quality work who has worked with Ownit Homes for over 35 years.
A pathway into the trades
Starting in May, Marcus will work one day per week on Ownit Homes job sites until he finishes school, at which time he will work full time with Russell for the next four years. He is one of many young men at Gregory Terrace heading towards trade-based vocations at the completion of their Year 12 studies.
A strong partnership
The apprenticeship was made possible through a strong partnership between Busy at Work, Russell Davidson, Ownit Homes and Gregory Terrace House Dean Glenn Cameron. Marcus is very keen to get started, and there is no doubt he will receive excellent training under the skilful guidance of Russell and the Ownit Homes construction team.
