Here's what employees are saying about our training

Stephen Caserio - recently qualified chef:
"Working as an apprentice chef across the four sections of the kitchen and a la carte work in Regattas, I was always encouraged to ask questions and be innovative. Chefs encouraged me to experiment with food and as a result I feel that I grew as a chef more than if I just did what was necessary. My training started here at the ACC as a casual helping the butcher prepare all kinds of meat items - it really gave me a tremendous boost and the certainty that I wanted to be a chef".

Eirlys Thomas - Food & Beverage Attendant (PPT), Regattas Bistro:
"Training has obviously helped me gain the role I have now (I completed my two year traineeship here at the Centre last year). I have gained so much confidence and my traineeship allowed me to work with and learn from so many talented staff. I was able to tap into a vast amount of skills & knowledge and I know I have matured as a person because of this learning journey. With effort, you can be what you want to be".

Thomas Sharrod - Convention Technician:
"Before I started my traineeship I knew I wanted to specialise in the sound element of the technical production world. I am happy to say that I did get the specialist training I was looking for and I gained a huge range of other skills from both my training program and the professional staff here at the Centre. I am in this profession for the long term and training and particularly my traineeship, are helping me get there".

Kelly Hunt - Assistant Manager, Event Floor Services:
"I believe that training was the key factor in attaining my role as Assistant Manager of the Event Floor Services department. I started as a hospitality trainee at the Centre and after that course finished there was always some new development for me including the Certificate lV in Frontline Management which really helped me understand the leadership roles I have had in the last few years. Training has given me the confidence to pass on my knowledge to others at a number of events based presentations for TAFE and the Meetings & Events Association."

The food and beverages this year were our best ever. Plenty of people commented of the freshness and presentation of the food and the portions were substantial as you would expect.
