Joachim Lopez-Valoa 

Joachim is interested in mechanics and figuring out how things work by taking them apart. He also enjoys boating.  Joachim has combined these two passions and is studying a Certificate III for Marine Mechanics at Kangan Institute. He chose a school-based apprenticeship to get a head start by graduating secondary school with two years of experience.

Joachim demonstrates enthusiasm and initiative at work every day. He examines the list of daily tasks and doesn’t wait for instruction from his boss to get started. Once qualified, Joachim is keen to keep working as a marine mechanic.
