Technical
trainees from HMAS Cerberus (CAPT David Garnock,
CSC, RAN) took part in a week of work experience
at the Puffing Billy Railway workshops in Belgrave,
Victoria.
During
the visit, trainees worked on projects on behalf
of the railway and were supervised by the newly
established Military Development Cell within the
Engineering Faculty.
As
part of the re-modelled curriculum, new sailors
also take part in a three-day teamwork camp at the
start of category school.
Trainees
also get to visit a number of large corporations
to gain an insight into specialised engineering
work, including companies such as Telstra, Holden,
Bluescope Steel and Victoria’s power generation
facilities in Gippsland.
