Scholarship provides opportunities

Andrew says the scholarship greatly assisted him in completing his Certificate IV in Instrumentation.

“The financial support I received allowed me to have more time to focus on my studies as I did not need to work as much overtime to pay for my school fees.

“The support network, guided by the AMPC Scholarship Network, was very welcoming and supportive. It was nice to be connected to other people who were also working full time and studying to expand their knowledge in the meat industry.”

While studying Andrew has developed his organisational and time management skills as well as his instrumentation skills.

“I have learnt how to effectively prioritise my time between working full time, whilst still ensuring that I completed and submitted all my assignments by the due date. Additionally, I have expanded my knowledge on instrumentation which has provided me with a sense of self-accomplishment.”

Andrew says the qualification has also benefited JBS Australia, the company he works for.

“I now have the skills required to investigate certain equipment and make them function correctly. This has helped my company function more efficiently as we have saved time by not having to wait on contractors from outside the company to fix certain equipment.”

Andrew would like to continue to expand his knowledge on instrumentation in the future.

“I enjoyed learning about Instrumentation and plan on furthering my knowledge in the field when the opportunity arises.

“I am very grateful to the AMPC Upskilling Scholarship Program for providing me with this opportunity, as the support I received enabled me to successfully complete a Certificate IV in Instrumentation at RMIT University. I had a great experience and cannot think of any improvements that can be made.”
