For the fifth consecutive year, RDA Hunter’s ME Program was pleased to be a major sponsor of the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie Careers Expo and the Hunter Valley Careers Expo last week.
Leading Hunter defence industries including BAE Systems and Boeing Defence Australia joined RDA Hunter’s ME Program in the STEM Workforce Industry Pavilion at both the Newcastle/Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Valley Expos. The ME Program and its industry partners promoted the importance of studying science, technology, engineering and maths subjects and the real, Hunter-based careers opportunities available for students with STEM skills.
4,000 students in years 10, 11 and 12 from 38 Hunter secondary schools visited the pavilions over the course of the two day event making it a huge success for industry and a valuable source of information for students.
