Congratulations to Rachael Pearson who was named the prestigious Apprentice of the Year at the TAFE 2024 NSW Training awards on Saturday night. 
Rachael is now a fully qualified mechanical engineer having undertaken her studies while playing NRLW for the Parramatta Eels.
“I am proof that if you are passionate about the trade, committed, dedicated and set realistic goals, you can have it all and most importantly you are paid to live this dream along the way,” Pearson said.
The Parramatta Eels are delighted to support Rachael in her NRLW journey and life beyond football.
