I 9m doing things like programming which I 9m very passionate about.<br><br> I really enjoy being asked by my boss i1 something is possible and then challenging mysel1 to invent or make it happen. d One year a1ter graduating 1rom Bay o1 Plenty Polytechnic, Ash is well on his way to living his dream and has many more exciting plans 1or the 1uture. cI want to keep dreaming up new projects and making them happen. I look 1orward to coming up with new so1tware and automated products within our company.<br><br> cI hope to see mysel1 as Manager o1 the Automation division o1 Conway & Carpenter one day. At the moment it 9s one single company but I can see it growing to be a large company. I really enjoy project management and new developments. d Nineteen year old Ash attributes his success to many things including his Mum 1or making his lunches and helping out with car warrants throughout his studies.<br><br> He also can 9t say enough about the electrical and electronic programmes and tutors at Bay o1 Plenty Polytechnic. cMy experience at the Polytechnic was awesome! I really enjoyed all the practical work and projects.<br><br> My tutor defnitely knew his stu11! He had a really good teaching style and spent a lot o1 time with us, one on one. He really encouraged me to complete all my assignments and projects on time.<br><br> cAnother important highlight o1 the course 1or me was learning all the technical words in the industry and actually learning what they meant! I have taken all the skills I was taught at Poly into the work place and it has helped a lot! d The 1ormer Bethlehem College student is thrilled with his new career path which is the actualisation o1 his childhood dream. cI have had a passion 1or computers and electronics since I was young.<br><br> I wanted to pursue a career in this line o1 work and now I 9m here! d 10 w$& a$-k!( Graduate 3 2007 National Certifcate in Electrical Engineering Level 2 & 3 Employed 3 Electrical apprenticeship with Switch Electrical in Tauranga A1ter many years as a qualifed plasterer, Wil decided he needed a new direction. A long-term interest in electrical engineering saw him checking out what was on o11er at Bay o1 Plenty Polytechnic and soon he was on his way to gaining a new qualifcation. cA1ter 12 years as a plasterer, I was over it.<br><br> I needed a change. I wanted to get a new trade and electrical engineering had always looked interesting to me. There seemed to be more opportunities in the industry and it 9s more challenging. d Much to Wil 9s surprise, going back to study a1ter many years wasn 9t as di1fcult as he initially thought.<br><br> He breezed through and enjoyed himsel1 along the way despite scoring a broken leg mid-way through the programme during a game o1 rugby. cI really liked returning to tertiary. It was a whole new learning experience 1or me which, in the end, I 1ound quite easy.<br><br> The tutors were really knowledgeable and I defnitely 1elt prepared 1or the work1orce in this new industry at the end o1 the programme. d Wil didn 9t have to wait long to gain a job. At the beginning o1 2008, he was o11ered a sought a1ter apprenticeship with Switch Electrical a1ter a tutor recommended him 1or the position. Understandably stoked, Wil signed up and is now happily working away at his apprenticeship.<br><br> With his frst baby on the way, he is happy to settle in the Bay with his 1amily and his newly acquired trade to keep him busy. 11 Every e11ort was made to ensure the in1ormation contained in this brochure was correct at the time o1 printing.
