Livi Budd, Zara Hosking, Charlotte Kemp and I, all Year 10 Engineering and Design students, recently participated in the Multiplex Jumpstart Program as part of the Destination Gold Coast project.
This program, tailored for young women interested in pursuing careers in the construction and engineering industries, offered invaluable insights for those considering engineering in their senior years.
Throughout the program, we engaged in a variety of hands-on workshops, including practical engineering challenges, panel discussions, and site visits. These activities gave us a holistic view of the construction industry, introducing career paths in construction management, architecture, and engineering. The immersive experience not only broadened our understanding of the built environment but also enhanced our teamwork and problem-solving skills.
One of the highlights was the opportunity to connect with industry professionals who shared their experiences and offered guidance. Guided construction site walks provided a real-world perspective on the complexities of major urban projects. The Jumpstart Program has been an inspiring experience, fuelling our passion for the field and encouraging us to pursue engineering in our future studies.
