ComGroup Apprentice Celebrates National Award Success

ComGroup, is celebrating the success of its Apprentice Technician Theo Goslett, who won the prestigious Australian Radio Communications Industry Association's (ARCIA) Apprentice Trainee Award 2011.

The Apprentice Trainee award was open to all ARCIA apprentices and trainees, with the judges assessing each entry based on a range of criteria including commitment, performance, team work and development throughout the apprenticeship and training programmes.

Theo won the award based on his performance since joining the ComGroup Apprenticeship programme in 2009, with the judges recognising the achievements and progress he has made, together with his drive to learn and develop his skills.

Alan Clarke, General Manager of ComGroup, says: "Theo is an exceptional apprentice, setting a high standard across all aspects of his work. His appetite for learning, combined with his confidence and maturity has meant he has quickly progressed and been able to take on more responsibilities and opportunities. Theo is a very worthy winner of this prestigious industry award, and I am sure this is just the start of a very successful career."

On starting his Apprenticeship, Theo initially worked in ComGroup’s Scoresby Service Department, creating, repairing and servicing radio equipment. With exceptional attention to detail and strong problem solving skills, 12 months into his training Theo wanted to expand his technical knowledge and moved to the Victoria engineering and product development team.

Theo says: "My Apprenticeship at ComGroup has given me a fantastic start to my career, allowing me to work across a diverse range of projects with some of the best engineers in the industry. I feel very proud to have won this award - not just for myself, but for all those people who have given me the training and support that have allowed me to develop my skills and progress as a technician."
