How Kangan Saved Joseph’s Dream
“When I first started the course I wanted to give up as I did not know anything about mechanics.”
However, thanks to some words of encouragement from his trainer, David Salmeron, Joseph found the confidence he needed to push on.
“Dave advised me to focus and encouraged me to persevere,” he says. “My classmates have also been very supportive.”
Now Joseph is on the road to success.
“I am learning something new everyday.”
“The Institute has new technology and specialised equipment that I have not seen before. With the support of my teachers, I am learning.”
Now Joseph’s skills are advanced enough that he is doing work placement. Kangan Institute has industry partnerships so that students can gain real experience and find employment easily once they graduate.
“I have been placed with Goodyear in Glenroy, where I work with qualified mechanics and learn about servicing, mechanics and talking with customers. My boss and the mechanics are caring and very helpful.”
Even though it has been hard at times, Joseph says that the experience has been overwhelmingly positive and worth it.
“I would highly recommend anyone from my country to come and study here,” adding that in some other places, “you can’t find the same technology, good teachers.”
His favourite thing about Kangan Institute is that, “everyone is very supportive.”
He thinks more people should know that studying at Kangan Institute is a good idea.
“It is a good idea if you want to better your future.”
