"Good afternoon Wendy, thanks so much for the opportunity, the lads had a great time, it was a real eye opener for them to see the behind the scenes processes. The team at Norweld were great with their approach and information too. Our students are now keen on looking into a work experience opportunity with Norweld.
Again many thanks for your support."
Regards.

"On 16 August, Norweld hosted 12 students from Smithfield SHS for a site tour. Students from years 9 to 12 were in attendance, with fantastic representation from our young ladies who have expressed an interest in a career in metal fabrication and design. Every visit to Norweld shows an evolution of their amazing business and we are always grateful to the time that is invested in our students by a local business who are leading their industry. The students learned about the attention to detail that is paid to every piece of work that leaves the factory floor, the expansion of the welding shed to include a mezzanine level of welding bays and the introduction of inhouse auto-electricians to ensure the battery systems in the signature canopies are of the highest quality. We were also lucky enough to catch up with a 2021 SSHS graduate, who was approached by Norweld at last year’s DATTA Awards. Toby is 8 months into his apprenticeship, and has since enrolled in Engineering with JCU to be completed part time to complement his role at Norweld.
A huge thanks to Norweld for hosting us, and to BLA for ensuring that opportunities like this exist for the students in our region."
