State-owned Western Power has been actively recruiting and hiring 33 apprentices, trainees, and recent university graduates to join its workforce with successful candidates due to begin training in January 2025.
Those hired, who were trained as part of and have recently graduated from Western Power’s nationally accredited program, include:
- Apprentices who gained valuable and necessary on-the-job vocational experience, skills, and knowledge over four-year placements.
- School-based trainees who have completed a Certificate II in Automotive Servicing Technology.
- University graduates who have completed three-year rotation programs embedded in on-the-ground energy sector experiences.
- Business trainees who have completed one-year programs providing business support.
As part of that graduation ceremony, Ethan Edwards and Sagar Kumar were jointly named Western Power’s apprentice of the year, who respectively hold qualifications as heavy mechanical and distribution line worker apprentices.
Western Power’s nationally accredited training program, delivered in assistance with registered training organisations, teaches specialised electrical, overhead linework, cable jointing, and heavy mechanical skills and expertise, all of which are required for WA’s energy sector.
