We’d like to congratulate Max Miraglia on completing his Certificate III Carpentry apprenticeship.

Max, who started his time as a school-based apprentice, has been a great employee throughout his time as an apprentice carpenter. Learning from highly skilled tradespeople at Adam Hall Builders, he has taken everything in his stride and is now a confident and capable tradesperson. We wish Max all the best for the future and look forward to seeing what he achieves in the building and construction industry.

A huge thanks to Adam, Renee and the team at @adamhall_builders for their ongoing support of apprentices throughout the Colac region.
Your support does not go unnoticed.

Congratulations Max; you should be proud of your achievement!
