Where are they now – Connor

Now working between 3 branches as a casual employee of ANZ

“I would not be the person I am now if it wasn’t for the opportunity that 1300apprentice provided me.

The opportunity was a two-year traineeship with ANZ bank and a certificate II in Business. I knew that the traineeship would be difficult, and the thought of juggling my HSC, Cert II and work was daunting.

However, 1300apprentice were so understanding of my situation and helped me at every step. They motivated me to persevere with my hard work and determination and because of that I am now an ANZ employee with a HSC and Cert II in Business.

I am grateful for this and the experience I shared with 1300apprentice.” -Connor Bugeja

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a reference for Connor Bugeja.

Connor is a school-based trainee here at the Katoomba branch. Connor has been a super star since the first day he started working at the Katoomba branch. Connor is professional, reliable, demonstrated initiative and supports his colleagues where every he can. For example there was one Friday that I had back to back customers in the afternoon, the customers didn’t leave the branch until 5.45pm the branch closes at 5pm, Connor thought of my safety first and stayed with me until we could leave together.

Connor is always willing to learn something new. I know if I give Connor a task to complete it will get done. Connor works extremely well with all staff and gets positive feedback from customers.

Connor is a valued member of the team here at the Katoomba Branch. It has been great to see Connor’s confidence grow during his time with us, and it has been a fantastic experience for our whole team to have his reliable and engaged presence.

Kind regards
