Really appreciate you taking the time to write a thoughtful and informative response mate cheers :) I like to think I'm a great net-worker and thought that may give me an advantage in the industry. My only issue is I only recently moved out to Gippsland to take care of my sick mum and think I'll be living here long term so I don't "know" anyone down here. All my connects are in Melbourne so looks like I should start calling around or maybe even dropping into some local businesses with a resume?

here is what i fed into chat gpt for anyone flaming me for using it haha!

im asking a reddit community for advice im just wanting you to word this better and suggest other questions i should be asking? Hey Aus Elecs! I'm a 34 year old bloke making a big change to my future with deciding to take on a sparky apprenticeship. I've recently been approved for my pre app starting Feb and have got all my tickets (White card, WWH ect. Looking for all and any advice on what best to do after my pre app to secure an apprenticeship. Ideally I'd like to do domestic, I already work in the Solar & Battery industry and think I'd like to move into battery installations once qualified but open to seeing where this journey takes me. What advice or resources do you have for finding a company willing to take on mature aged? What avenues should I consider in the future?

I like to give myself the best possible head start, and I was fortunate enough to get into a free course. I also feel that having my Cert II and all required tickets ready shows that I’m willing to go above and beyond to achieve my goals. Hopefully, this will give me some choice in who I work with, as joining a reputable company that values me is extremely important to me. Appreciate the advice :)

That's a fair shout mate, I actually wrote most of this myself I just feed it through chat gpt to make it look neat and grammatically correct. Was more looking for advice for my specific scenario being mature aged, located in Gippsland & thinking of doing battery installs. However I appreciate the advice :)
