Beyond the Broncos building aspirations of students

Beyond the Broncos Year 12 student, Daniel Button was fortunate enough to be invited on a special site tour of Blackwoods at Carole Park.

While other Year 12s are preparing to graduate and making plans for schoolies, Daniel has been active in ensuring that he is engaged in further study or work once he completes school.

"I'll miss school but I'm excited about working and want to start as soon as I can" Button

Blackwoods State Distribution Manager, Kevin Quinn gave Daniel an introduction into the business, the types of roles available at Blackwood’s and discussed the many opportunities for career development within the business.

Daniel was also lucky enough to catch up with Beyond the Broncos Alumni and now Blackwoods employees, Brock Hilton and Nicholas Grant. Both Nick and Brock shared their experience working the past year with the organisation.
