Aircraft Engineer Mitch Liebich, on his great achievements as an apprentice
over the past two and a half years!
Mitch works for Temora Aviation Museum Engineering as a 3rd year Apprentice
Aircraft Engineer. Mitch completed his year ten work experience with us and
we were so impressed with his knowledge and aptitude to aviation that we
waited until he finished year eleven to hire him as our apprentice. During
that waiting time, Mitch helped us in his school holidays and during our
Flying Weekends.
In order to increase his knowledge and understanding of the aviation
profession Mitch is taking flying lessons with the goal of obtaining his
Recreational Aircraft Australia license. Mitch has undertaken flight
training at his own expense and on his own personal time. Whilst this is not
a requirement for his employment it broadens his understanding of the
aviation industry.
Mitch is not a "clock watcher" and takes a whole hearted approach to his
work related activities. His tasks are always completed with a high degree
of attention to detail and conducted in the most efficient manner. Mitch is
continually seeking job related knowledge through studying trade related
journals and networking with visiting aircrew, engineers, and aviation
specialist contractors.
He is an aircraft engineer who routinely thinks "outside the square". Mitch
applies knowledge gained from his life experiences to his career
development. He is always first to volunteer for a new project and he is not
afraid to tackle the tough jobs or the dirty work.
On Friday 26th June, Mitch received an award at the Third Annual Business
Awards Program and Gala Dinner, held by the Temora Business Enterprise Group
(TBEG). These awards are held to recognise and showcase outstanding
businesses and individuals throughout the Temora community, for their
efforts over the last 12 months. The six finalists for 'Best
Trainee/Apprentice', ranged in occupation from hairdressers to builders.
Mitch came out on top as the winner, congratulations!
Mitch now holds the perpetual trophy for this category, which will be on
display at the Museum.
In his acceptance speech, Mitch thanked the Museum staff for making his
working environment a great place to learn.
