KFC manager Grant encourages her to learn all facets of working in hospitality. 

Renee has only recently started working at the store. Another Link Personnel client, Michael also works at the same store. He has been there for over a year.

Warren's apprenticeship a successful partnership

Warren always wanted to be a diesel mechanic, working with trucks. He needed to get an apprenticeship to get the qualifications and training he needed to achieve his goal. Working with his Link Personnel Employment Co-ordinator, he was able to become an apprentice heavy vehicle mechanic.

Each year, people are selected from over 7000 applicants  and a rigorous interview process. Warren is now in his third year of his apprenticeship. He currently works at the Brisbane City Council's Toowong Workshops
 / Bus Depot but is rotated to other Depots for a variety of training on various other buses and accessories such as engine servicing and refitting after reconditioning, wheels, brakes and tyres, electrical circuits, air conditioners, compressed air systems and suspensions.

Supervisors have taken the time to help him through the tough bits. Steve Hills and his training and development section have also structured his timetable for TAFE studies to ensure Warren has every chance of success. TAFE tutors have also spent extra time helping Warren when necessary. Warren also has the support of his family, particularly Dad, Trevor, who also works in the mechanical field.

Renee is in training as a customer service front counter hostess.
