2021 Queensland Rising Star
Zander Cannon
Zander works for Coast and Hinterland Glass and Aluminium, Caloundra West, Queensland, and studies at Gimbal Training. Since he was a young boy playing with Lego, he always enjoyed working with his hands and the sense of achievement at creating things drew him to a job he saw advertised. After doing some research on CHGA, he realized this was the ideal job and industry for him. In his studies, Zander has shown a ‘can do’ attitude and a passion for what he does that is rare in a young person. He is a fast learner and will try his hand at anything. His employers say that he excels at every task, and this has earned him involvement in projects that a first/second year apprentice normally wouldn’t be involved in. He shows problem solving skills, attention to detail and uses initiative and is about 6-12 months ahead of his other first year colleagues.
Congratulations Zander.
