Paid work experience pronounced a success

February 04, 2001

The pilot Navy Youth Scheme which saw 20 young men and women given 12 weeks paid work experience at FIMA/Sydney has come to a close....and been a success.

Many of the young people have liked what they have seen in the service and now seek full time employment with the RAN.

One man has already entered the Recruit Training School at HMAS Cerberus.

In the final days of the program the young people were shown further aspects of Navy life.

They travelled to HMAS Penguin for a tour of the base.

Among the units visited was the Diving School and the School of Underwater Medicine.

Several young people experienced the inside of the school's recompression chamber.
