Dear Brad, My name is Sue, I’m a parent of a graduating year 12 student at AITC based on the Gold Coast Campus.  I wanted to write and congratulate you on hiring such inspirational, friendly, professional individuals like David Leitch. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not the easiest person to deal with when I’m not happy, I have high expectations and will hold you accountable for every promise or statistic you’ve ever said.  When I found out that my son* hadn’t been signed up with an apprenticeship but had finished his schooling, I was a bit unhappy.   I made an appointment...

He’s in year 12 now, has already secured his apprenticeship as a Plumber and will also finish the year with a Cert 3 in business management and a string of other trade certificates.

When I flagged this diagnosis on the application, Elaine contacted me and offered to meet...
