The Industry School

Behind the scenes at Recar Brisbane 🛠️

Our Year 10 Rookies from Ipswich got hands-on to explore the many areas within collision repair such as welding, spray painting, fibre glassing and mould making.

A massive thank you to the Recar team for showing us what the industry looks like 🚛

Meet Henry 👋

He only graduated from the Ipswich school in 2024 and now he’s about to step into his third-year apprenticeship with Recar Brisbane.

When our Year 10 Rookies visited his workspace, he got to flip the script and showed them the ropes.

Talk about full circle ⭐

Meet Kristi 👋 She’s currently doing her work experience in the heavy diesel industry.

She’s one of the many impressive young women reshaping the future of industry at our schools. In the last 5 years, we’ve seen a 90% increase in female students entering School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships.

Here’s to the women who are kicking goals and changing the stereotype everyday 👏

Happy International Women’s Day!

Great work Theo! 👏

Last week, our Rookies rose up to the challenge at ! 💪

They embraced the ANZAC spirit and were pushed outside of their comfort zone as they tackled ostacles, mastered tools and learnt the ropes of safety! ✨

There was mud (lots of it!), sweat, laughter, new friendships and moments where they discovered their true potential.
