Baylun is a proud Mirring and Wiradjuri man, and embarked on his training journey through Dyirranga, an Indigenous-owned not-for-profit company that supports First Nations youth through electrical apprenticeships.

As part of his apprenticeship, Baylun was enrolled in a Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician at TAFE NSW and employed at Dyirranga.

With a dream to complete a trade and create a better future for himself, Baylun got everything he was hoping for through his apprenticeship. He also gained considerable support and confidence from the team of Indigenous men and women around him.

Now, balancing his work as a qualified electrician and providing cultural teaching opportunities with the Indigenous dance group he runs, Baylun frequently takes time to advocate for Dyirranga in the hope that other First Nations people find the life-changing career he did through vocational education. He’s dedicated to seeing his own successes mirrored by others in his community.
