Welcome back to the show, where we delve into the stories that shape the construction industry and the individuals driving it forward.
Today’s guest has taken a unique journey, starting on the tools as a tiler, and now shaping the future of the trade from the classroom. Adam Agostino joins me, an ex-tiler turned TAFE lecturer, who’s dedicated to educating the next generation of trade contractors.
In this episode, Adam shares his story of transitioning from hands-on work to teaching, the challenges and rewards of stepping into the role of mentor, and how his passion for the industry fuels the way he teaches.
We’ll explore his approach to connecting with young tradies, the lessons he’s carried from the job site into the classroom, and why investing in the next generation is crucial for the future of the trade.
Whether you’re a seasoned contractor, a young apprentice, or someone who loves hearing how real people make real impact in their industries, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
