School Visits & Tours

The students really engaged with it and gained a lot from the experience in terms of both learning and improving their welding skills, but also increasing their awareness of the depth and breadth of career opportunities that exist within the minerals, manufacturing and energy sectors.

The simulators have not only given feedback to students on their welding and techniques available, it has also opened up the opportunities available in the manufacturing sector locally, nationally and internationally.

Every student I have spoken with since the program has said they thought the experience was invaluable and they are more aware now of these opportunities than they were previously. They also said they were less scared or intimated about going to these workplaces as those barriers were broken down. This in itself if a massive win. Your delivery, energy and ability to engage the students where they are at was fantastic.

When Ivan from MAMCAP came to our school we were initially a bit worried about our student engagement. This could not have been any further from reality. Ivan was personable and the students enjoyed the information he shared and the way he shared it. Group discussion and hands on activities kept our students engaged at all times, teaching them valuable knowledge about the many jobs available in the mining sector.
