# The Tea

My apprenticeship has been a game-changer for me. There have been days troubleshooting in the sweltering heat, but I’ve learnt heaps about how these systems work, how to fix them, keeping everyone comfortable. Every time I bring an air con system back to life and it’s keeping a family cool on a scorcher, that's a pretty awesome feeling. This trade is more than just keeping things frosty, it's about keeping people comfortable and businesses running smoothly.
