“Prior to attending LTT, I had been on Workers Compensation due to an injury while working as an Aviation Protection Officer. I had been in the role for 16 years and to be honest, I wasn’t keen about returning to the industry.
My work rehab manager found the MSL30118 Certificate III in Laboratory Skills course at LTT Brisbane. I was really interested as I had previously worked in laboratories many years ago.
The course was great and I learnt so much. My favourite part was the lab bench work such as testing pH and staining and viewing specimens. I was quite worried about gaining employment as I am in my 60’s, but I landed a job with my first interview! Much has changed since my days in the Lab, almost everything is automated, and computer generated, but I still have the knack for a few manual tasks.
I am really loving my new job with Mater in the Haematology department as a Scientific Assistant. Management is very approachable and supportive.
I was one of six new employees; all were in their 20’s and another aged 17. Apart from the school leaver, the other new starters were uni students, either newly graduated or still studying.
I feel very fortunate to have been considered, but my work rehab manager always reminded me that I have a lot of talents and life experiences to offer.”
