What is it like to be an apprentice printer?
Meet Aaron Carroll. He is an apprentice printer working for Mystique Pty Ltd in Rowville, Victoria. Take a few minutes to listen to what he has to say about his life as an apprentice printer.
Gone green already
Mystique printing, Rowville, VIC - 100% carbon neutral
It’s easy to talk about being environment friendly, and most businesses would probably want to be. But when faced with economic reality, particularly over the past twelve months, it needs a strong will for a business to completely reengineer itself so that it can claim to be 100% carbon neutral.
Mystique printing company in Rowville has gone right through every process of manufacture – using soy based inks, improving waste management, purchasing carbon credits from the Minding the Carbon Store project and carefully selecting the papers it uses.
‘The big difference with our company is that the owners didn’t stop there,’ explains Mat Eldred, Systems Manager for Mystique.
‘They believe the key to moving the business forward includes the quality of work. And that means the whole organisation, from printers and managers to the administrative support team.’
Everyone is involved with skills improvement training. This is where the financial support provided by the state and federal governments through the Australian Apprenticeships scheme has made it affordable.
Organising the financial support means filling out applications, signing Training Contracts and processing paperwork; all organised by Steve Holmes from the Wantirna MEGT Australian Apprenticeships Centre.
The staff are doing Certificate III and managers are doing Certificate IV in Competitive Manufacturing over the next two years, but they don’t even have to leave work. It’s all done as workplace training.

‘We’ve been around for 20 years,’ explains Eldred, ‘but the business is continually moving forward and this is our way to look to the future.’
Australian Apprenticeships are an Australian Government initiative.
