At our state-of-the-art Trades Innovation Centre, you'll experience four interactive stations where you'll rotate through four hands-on stations led by RMIT teachers and students.
The stations will cover the following trades:
- Carpentry: Learn how to safely use a nail gun and practice basic construction techniques to make a mini stool.
- Plumbing: Join a pipe connection challenge and pull apart a tap to see how they work from the inside out.
- Electrical and Refrigeration: Practice using wire strippers, learn the basics of circuitry and wiring, and experiment with using thermal cameras.
- Surveying: Use specialised equipment to measure distance and see how the experts use laser scanners to capture accurate measurements.
You'll have the chance to chat to folks from all over RMIT who specialise in application support, apprenticeship support, women in STEM and pathways.
The RMIT Skills & Jobs Centre will also be available for one-on-one chats and can give you expert guidance on how you can reach your career goals.
We'll also be running a competition on the day with a trades kit worth $500 as the major prize. If that's not enough, there will also be free food and drink!
