2025 Careers under Construction Schools Programme
Students from Eastern Fleurieu R-12 School visit Summit Aquatic Centre.
On the 22nd May the Kennett team at Summit hosted Year 10 and 11 students for a full site tour as we near completion of this landmark project for the Mt Barker community.
Kennett supplied a 3D model of the project 3 months prior to the school visit as part of the Careers Under Construction programme, run by the Construction Industry training Board (CITB) and Maker’s Empire. This programme introduces students to the building and construction industry through a design thinking problem-solving methodology. It uses 3D design to create solutions for a construction problem or challenge. Through the programme schools establish partnerships which allows industry experts to share their knowledge and expertise with students while working on real-world projects.
The objectives of the programme are to empower students to become adept problem solvers and creative designers while raising awareness about the diverse career pathways within the construction industry.
CITB is a whole-of-industry led organisation that provides support to attract, train and retain South Australian building and construction workers by providing leadership in training and skills development.
Makers Empire is an education technology company with a mission to develop children’s creative confidence, design thinking skills, and interest in STEM with purpose-built, fun, and easy-to-use 3D design software.
