Fulton/Hogan Work Experience

Last week Emma Schulz and Colby Hurst worked collaboratively with other schools in the area on a project with Fulton/Hogan.

The students had to design a rest area for the new bypass. The students were exposed to many job roles in the week, having to consult with environmental scientists, engineers, construction managers, human resource departments and Finance departments to name a few. The new Riverlet Rest Area will prove popular with the general public as the students endorsed the establishment of a kebab outlet as a feature of the plan!  We thank Fulton/Hogan for this opportunity for our students.

Under the trial, employers who sign-up and commence a new apprentice from 1 January 2019 will be eligible for subsidies for the apprentice’s first three years.
