Response:
Yes many . If you do live in regional or remote location where the tasks of a certain trade don't reflect that of city or major training than TUFF. North Qld only uses Block masonry and therefore if they want apprentices they need to come to Brisbane or find employer who can delivery the other parts yet not flexibility to do what is needed , End result employers walk away for vet system and apprentice numbers die
