Pathway To Success

Clay Pentt

Boilermaker Apprentice

As Yura Yarta continues to empower Indigenous youth by providing meaningful career pathways, Clay Pentt stands as a shining example of the organisation’s vision in action.

A proud Pita Pita man from Boulia in far North Queensland, Clay has recently embarked on his journey as a Metal Fabrication (Boilermaker) Apprentice with Yura Yarta through Heavymech Group.

Clay’s passion for hands-on work is matched by his love for the outdoors. Whether he’s fishing, camping, hunting, or exploring new places, his deep connection to his culture and the land fuels his drive to succeed. As a family-oriented individual, Clay draws strength from his loved ones, using their support as motivation to complete his apprenticeship and build a successful career in the skilled trades.

Reflecting on his journey so far, Clay shares: “Starting my apprenticeship with Yura Yarta has been an exciting step forward. I’m eager to dedicate myself to the next four years of learning and growth, knowing that every skill I gain brings me closer to my goal of becoming a qualified tradesperson.”

Clay’s story highlights the transformative impact of Yura Yarta’s initiatives, offering young Indigenous individuals not only a career path but also a sense of pride and purpose. With a bright future ahead, Clay’s dedication and enthusiasm will no doubt inspire others to follow in his footsteps, showing that with the right support and determination, anything is possible.
