Maitland council welcomes new trainees

SHARE

Maitland City Council’s workplace stocks have been boosted for 2021, with three trainees and one apprentice being welcomed to the fold by mayor Loretta Baker this week.

The traineeships – awarded to Suzanne Malone, Ivy Dundas and Hayley Foster – provide learning and career development opportunities across the diverse areas of business administration, events and graphic design.

Landscaper Bailey Chircop will also undertake a four-year apprenticeship.

Council boasts a long history of providing internships, bringing people in at entry level to build their capacity in a supportive environment, equipping them for their future careers.

“It’s a privilege to welcome these new recruits to council as they begin or change their careers,” Cr Baker said.

“We are proud of our record of nurturing talent of all ages and offering valuable on-the-job experience at council, serving the Maitland community, while supporting individuals as they undertake studies in their chosen field.

“Many of our past participants have progressed to full-time roles at council, too.

“Or, they’ve developed the skills and experience, which has seen them secure employment with other organisations.

“Our 2020 trainees were no exception, with each of them completing their traineeship with a new role secured.”

Council’s three business administration trainees, Ms Malone, Ms Dundas and Ms Foster, have started 12-month contracts.

“Ivy and Hayley are entering the workforce for the first time, while Suzanne is returning to work and undergoing a career change after raising children,” Cr Baker said.

“Events trainee Sienna Edwards and graphic design trainee Myisha Edmonds will enter the second year Certificate IV level training for their respective disciplines.

“They also participated in Tuesday’s welcome ceremony.”
