Genaro Paul Auriemma worked as an electrical trades assistant before joining a concreting company and realising he wanted to become a builder. Enrolling in the Diploma of Building and Construction at Polytechnic West, he studied part time for five years.
Finding the combination of full-time work, part-time study and raising a family difficult, Genaro took a break from his studies and began building a new home for his family. Upon completion of the build, Genaro took long service leave from his employer and completed the remaining units of his diploma. His efforts were recognised when he was named Vocational Student of the Year at Polytechnic West’s Awards.
With the goal of completing his diploma realised, Genaro is pursuing his dream of being a registered builder and has set up his own building company. He is a member of a number of industry organisations and participates in various fundraising activities.
