Year 12 students had a chance to learn more about apprenticeship opportunities within the oil and gas industry during a visit from National Energy Technician Training Scheme (NETTS) representatives this week.
NETTS is a collaborative apprenticeship scheme run by Programmed which partners with major oil and gas companies, including Shell, Santos, INPEX, Woodside and BHP, to deliver unique pathways into the industry.
Presenters Dave Hilliard and apprentice Ellie Maskell spoke to students about the three different apprenticeships available through NETTS – Process Plant Technician, Instrumentation Electrician and Mechanical Technician.
Workplace Learning Support Officer Bridget de Silva said the presentation gave students a greater understanding about quality training for future careers.
“It was important for students to know a world-class training facility for many industry apprenticeships is just a stone’s throw away in Cockburn, and paid-to-learn opportunities are available for them,” she said.
