You could.BGT Jobs & Training is partnering with Mars Ballarat to find their next Fitter & Turner Apprentice — and this is a pretty remarkable place to learn your trade.

Over three years, you’ll work across different areas of the Mars Ballarat factory, learning from experienced people and developing the mechanical skills needed to help keep a major manufacturing operation running reliably.
