Job description

Spark the Next Generation of Electricians

Qualified Electrician? Got Your TAE? Ready for Something Different?

Ever thought about stepping out of the tools and into a role where you can genuinely shape the future of the industry?

AGA is looking for passionate electricians who hold a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE) and are ready to inspire the next generation of tradies through our VET Delivered to Secondary Students (VETDSS) programs across Melbourne's South East.

Even if you've never taught in a school before, don't worry. We'll support suitable candidates to obtain a Permission to Teach (PTT) through the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), giving you the opportunity to turn your industry experience into a rewarding teaching career.

Whether you're looking for a career change, better work-life balance, or the chance to make a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.

• Enjoy Better Balance: Leave behind the uncertainty of project deadlines, weekend work, and long commutes while enjoying a role that offers stability, structure, and meaningful outcomes.
• We'll Support Your Teaching Journey : Not currently registered to teach? That's okay. If you hold a TAE qualification, we'll help guide and support you through obtaining a Permission to Teach (PTT) with VIT.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Bring Electrical Concepts to Life: Deliver engaging, hands-on training that helps students connect classroom learning to real-world electrical careers.
• Inspire Future Tradespeople: Help young people build confidence, develop practical skills, and discover what a career in the electrical industry can look like.
• Share Your Industry Expertise: Take your years of experience and transform them into practical lessons, demonstrations, stories, and mentoring opportunities.
• Create Engaging Learning Experiences: Bring your personality into the classroom and help make learning enjoyable, relevant, and memorable.
• Be a Mentor: Support students as they develop both technical skills and workplace readiness, helping them take their first steps into apprenticeships and employment.
