Founder: Jackson Burchell

Jackson’s passion for Vocation Education & Training, and teaching others lead him to create the ‘Take That Step’ initiative where he can assist, support, guide and educate other incredible individuals wanting to start their journey and TAKE THAT STEP  towards their chosen career pathway.

Jackson has always had an interest in how things worked, so he decided to pursue a career in the Heavy Vehicle industry as a Diesel Mechanic. To achieve this goal, Jackson started his journey within the VET sector in year 11, undertaking and completing a Certificate II in Light Vehicle repairs and in year 12 completing another Certificate II in Under-body Repairs. This gave Jackson the best start in pursuing his career and a big advantage when applying and starting an Apprenticeship after finishing school.
In 2015 Jackson started his dream career in the Mobile Plant Industry as an Apprentice Mobile Plant Technician with Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) and has now worked for TMHA for 9 years.
Jackson has always had a high interest and passion to train and teach others, in 2019 after becoming a fully qualified Technician, Jackson was promoted to the Position of Team leader/Technician and was given the opportunity to lead his own team which was a massive personal achievement. Wanting to get an understanding as to what it takes to be a leader, Jackson Completed a Certificate IV Leadership & Management and Certificate IV Business with Time Education and Training. Jackson has continued his education and is currently completing a Certificate IV Training & Assessment.  In 2023 Jackson was given the opportunity to become a Mentor for Apprentices. This would see him train, guide, and support apprentices to ensure they have a successful and fulfilling start to their career.
