Media release published: 3 November 2025

In a massive win for the shire, Eurobodalla Council has secured funding for a major apprenticeship drive to help bolster essential skills in the region.

Thanks to the NSW Government’s Fresh Start program, Council is recruiting for apprentices in key service areas, including:

• nursery production
• electrical
• mechanics
• plant operation
• civil construction.

Transport and stormwater engineer James Thompson began his career as a cadet and valued the opportunity to apply university theory to real-world engineering projects.

“As a cadet, you’re given the chance to work on genuine engineering challenges. Whether it’s addressing specific community concerns or contributing behind the scenes on projects like road safety upgrades, making a real impact while still studying is incredibly rewarding.”

Manager of people and safety Trinity Ladmore, who also commenced her local government career as a cadet with Council, is inviting ambitious locals to take the next big step in their careers.

“It’s more than a job, it’s a career launchpad,” said Ms. Ladmore.

“Our apprentices train alongside highly experienced professionals, gain nationally recognised qualifications, and become the experts our community relies on.”
