I’ve completed my entire apprentice with Smart Employment, and they have been forever consistent with work, kept me up to date with TAFE, they have responded quickly and been very helpful with any concerns I’ve had about work, TAFE and pay etc. Never letting me down! I’d highly recommend!
SES has been great support to me. I’ve found the service to be consistent. They regularly check in with me to see how I’m going, always answering my questions. I’d like to thank Mick – he has been a huge help. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have this apprenticeship.
