HANDBRAKE PROGRAM FULL

He liked how even though it may have been hard to absorb all of the information in a short time, he said he was thankful for the length, вЂњyou see the end of the tunnel and learn heaps.вЂќВ Nathan was quite impacted by his trainers and the level of dedication they provided to each student. From Hand Brake Turn he was able to find employment and he is really enjoying working.ДЄs he recalls what he learnt from the course, вЂњThere are so many things I could say, itвЂ™s intense,вЂќ said Nathan. He was interested in mechanics, but was also eager to develop his life skills for future work opportunities.

Nathan first heard about Hand Brake Turn when a couple of his family members encouraged him to apply and work in our mechanic training workshop. They teach it to you from the ground up, they donвЂ™t just show you вЂ“ they explain why everything is the way it is.вЂќ вЂњI really recommend this place for any type of person, even if they donвЂ™t have mechanical skills. вЂњHand Brake Turn is one of those places where they are more than happy to give you a hand with anything,вЂќ said Nathan, as he worked on helping get a dent out of one of our staff memberвЂ™s personal car. We took the opportunity to check in with him about what he thought about the course and how he was going now, nearly two years after doing the course. It was a beautiful sunny day when Nathan randomly dropped into Hand Brake Turn to say gвЂ™day and have a chat to a couple of his old trainers. Young people who have graduated from the Hand Brake Turn program are given opportunity to continue to develop their skills by working alongside experienced professionals servicing cars and repairing donated cars. If you would like to enquire please email We service cars for the public, community partners and staff, and make minor necessary repairs where needed.ДЄll income from servicing and selling cars goes back into our primary Hand Brake Turn program that supports disengaged young people discover a career path and develop life skills. There are criteria we require to be met to receive a donated car. This is a program we have established at fiXit to gift two cars each year to a member of the community who is experiencing disadvantage. We repair and service donated cars that are then sold or gifted to members of the community who are in need.
