Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Apprenticeship
A.G. Coombs is offering four 1st Year apprenticeship positions in Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. Two positions are available for an immediate start at the end of Year 12 and two positions are available from the start of 2021.
A.G. Coombs is looking for students:
- who are genuinely looking for a trade;
- who are technically minded with strong results in Mathematics; and
- who have some leadership experience in school, their community or sporting environment.
A.G. Coombs often finds that students who are interested in becoming electricians enjoy being Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Apprentices due to the large amount of electrical work, including obtaining an Electrical Disconnect/Reconnect Licence.
At the end of the apprenticeship students will become a Service Technician for A.G. Coombs, with a fully maintained company vehicle and a life of variety servicing equipment at some of the major buildings and clients within Sydney and surrounding suburbs.
Students interested in applying for this apprenticeship are encouraged to see Ms May.
