Signalling Cadets
The Signalling Career Conversation webinar offered a great foundation in the basics of how rail signalling systems work. Presented to a captive audience of 124 university engineering students, it also gave the attendees glimpse of what life as a signalling engineer would be like with stories, insights and ideas from industry professionals.
Working under the Training Tor The Future program and in partnership with Jacobs, Monash Engineering Student Society (MESS), Victoria University and Swinburne Women in STEM club three webinars were run over August 2020.
