Meet our Sunshine Coast Carpentry Trainer and Assessor – Kip!

What Drew You To This Field?
I originally trained as a lawyer and completed a postgraduate degree before transitioning into a carpentry apprenticeship after renovating my first home.

What is your favourite module or hands-on skill to teach students?
I enjoy teaching the pitched roofs unit the most. I have an intense passion in traditional timber frames, sustainable construction (strawbale/hemp block/rammed earth) and hand pitched roofs. Teaching this unit also allows me to get nerdy about historical carpentry - have you watched 'Castle Builders' on YouTube? If not, you should! Its modern tradespeople building a castle using historical plans.

What do you love most about being a trainer?
I love being able to demonstrate the value women can bring to this industry and being able to mentor apprentices through their learning journey and help them build confidence and skills. I also particularly focus on gently educating apprentices and employers alike on ways they can promote more inclusivity onsite.

Love seeing outcomes like this! Work experience can be a real turning point for students. Well done, Ash, on creating such a positive opportunity. We're always happy to help schools connect students with meaningful work experience placements.

🔨🎉 From Work Experience to School-Based Apprenticeship! 🔨🎉
Ash is a perfect example of how work experience can open doors!!!
After seeing a work experience opportunity shared by our Industry Liaison Officer, Ash jumped at the chance and dedicated the entire two weeks of the June/July school holidays to gaining hands-on experience with CBN Contracting.

Campbell and the team at CBN Contracting were so impressed with his willingness to learn that they didn't want to let him go! Ash has now secured a School-Based Apprenticeship in Carpentry and, after graduating Year 12 in November, will transition into a full-time apprenticeship.

Congratulations, Ash! Your hard work, initiative and positive attitude have truly paid off. We can't wait to see where your carpentry career takes you.

A huge thank you to Campbell and the team at CBN Contracting for investing in the next generation of tradespeople and providing Ash with this incredible opportunity.

We'd also like to give a special shout-out to Jasmin from Inscope Training and Tania from MEGT for your support in helping Ash on his career pathway.

This is exactly why work experience matters. It builds skills, confidence, connections and can lead directly to employment opportunities.

👏 Well done, Ash! Your future is looking bright.
