Volunteers are the lynchpin to the success of all Try-A-Trade events.
The skill of the volunteers in conveying their enthusiasm, trade skills and job satisfaction leads to the engagement of the Try-A-Trade participants and their fullest understanding of what any trade might be able to do for them.
Volunteers for any particular event may be sourced from local TAFEs, Group Training Companies, Employers, the Local Council or the General Public.
