ENGINEERING ASPIRATIONS PROGRAM!
The Engineering Aspirations Program brings industry and education closer together by providing students with the opportunity to explore career pathways in Engineering. Emmaus students were recently given a chance to visit the Stanwell site, where they interacted with prominent figures from various sectors. They delved into Design, Infrastructure, Environmental Science, Electrical and Mechanical trades, gaining a deeper understanding of the field.
The Stanwell staff was extremely accommodating, providing the students with a comprehensive tour and divulging all the details on the diverse range of work that these fields offer. A huge thank you to the Stanwell staff for going above and beyond to make the students' visit a success!
