Anyone want to be a fridgie? We're busy as.

Actually.... employing via Lemmy is probably not a great recruitment strategy heh

Ya' never know, might get a super-star apply from here.

I got work ATM, but out of interest what's involved in being/becoming a fridgie?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty much a combination of electrical, plumbing, and gasfitting I guess.

You make stuff cold, and sometimes hot.

Sounds kinda rad tbh! Apprenticeship based to get training?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, 4 year apprenticeship... We do blocks of TAFE, so twice a year the apprentice heads off to TAFE for 5 weeks to do book learning + classroom practical. At the end of 4 years you do a capstone test which tests you on everything - practical and theory and making sure you're not a total shxtcxnt. Culmination of your time basically.
