We hear about John Hagenaar's trade as a fitter and machinist. John finished school in year 12 and had a couple of casual jobs before starting an apprenticeship in carpentry, which he felt he wasn't suited to. One of his mates got an apprenticeship with BlueScope Steel and he encouraged John to apply. Now, his job involves fitting and mechanical maintenance of machinery at BlueScope. John has won a scholarship at BlueScope Steel to complete his diploma, and he is hoping to move into management one day.
