Miles Training Centre
On Saturday April 20, students, parents, teachers and members of the public had a sneak peak at the new Miles Training Centre at the Miles High School.
The new Training Centre offers students an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience with different types of high-tech equipment, such as those used in state-of-the art manufacturing businesses. As part of the Australia Pacific LNG Project, we supported the Training Centre by funding over $113,000 worth of equipment. The 18 pieces of specialist equipment will enable students to develop skills in the areas of metal fabrication, fitting machining, building construction and mining operations.
With access to high quality trade training facilities that meet industry standards, students will have a head start if they decide to embark on further education and training.
The school will also build partnerships with local businesses, providing students with the ability to gain real industry experience in producing materials required locally.
