Stephen Harris

Trainee Metallurgical Technician

“Before I was just doing the job, now (with the education) I understand all the physics behind it...Your qualifications make you more of an asset to the industry, so there’s an incentive for employers to pay you more and keep you around.”

Stephen had been working in the resource sector for over four years when the offer of a traineeship in metallurgy came up. The traineeship has allowed him to continue earning while learning the theory of metallurgy operations.
