Introduction
The Australian Division understands one of the most pressing issues for undergraduate students studying aerospace-related fields is to gain work experience in the industry in order to give their careers a head-start and to satisfy the requirements of their degree.
The Division is embarking on a campaign to pull together relevant resources on how to go about obtaining work experience, to be an advocate to companies on the benefits of work experience and to provide links to various opportunites as they arise.
Companies who hire work experience students are encouraged to contact webmaster Michael Brett (webmaster@raes.org.au) with their details.
