Try a Trade

Our Try a Trade and Chef by Trade Day events are fun and provide young people with an opportunity to discover first-hand what it’s like in a workshop to get ‘hands-on’ in a range of different trade areas.

These events are open to young people aged from 14 to 17 years and lunch is provided on the day. Our school holiday experience programs range in price from $20 to $50 and cover all materials, eye and ear protection and lunch.  

Some programs require participants to wear their own steel-capped safety boots.

The day commences at 9.00am and finishes at 3.00pm. Registration on the day is from 8.30am in the College Hall. 

All of our trade programs are available at each event:

Registrations are essential. Payment must be made at the time of registration.
