This week, the Packages of Learning students participated in a work exposure and on-site opportunity at Woolnorth Windfarm.

Students were given an overview of the renewable energy industry in Tasmania, history and facts about the windfarm, and career path opportunities available followed by a guided tour of the Bluff Point and Woolnorth Windfarms where students were able to inspect wind turbines up close including inside the base structures, transmission yards, and workshops, and control centres housing enormous and sophisticated machinery and parts required for service and maintenance of the turbines.

We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Dillon Nichols of Woolnorth Windfarms for facilitating this awesome opportunity to engage with the renewables industry and to network regarding future work experience opportunities.
