Joshua Lodge’s plans to study chemical engineering at university were deferred when he decided to gain some practical understanding first. Enrolling in a Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques and completing the theory component in the first year, he then enrolled in (and completed) a Diploma of Chemistry.
Joshua won the 2014 Australian Apprentice (Trainee) of the Year Award at the Australian Training Awards.
Joshua is now enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) at Newcastle University while undertaking his traineeship.
Joshua is also an Australian Apprenticeships Ambassador for the Australian Government.
