25.01.2022 Talented junior soccer player Morgan Cox swapped a career in sports science to pursue her passion for rocks and chasing hidden craters. She says: "When you look up to the moon and you see impact craters all over the moon, but then the earth doesn't have any, or has only a certain amount that you can see, I think that it's kind of interesting that you can go try finding them ... and confirm up to 100km size impacts that NO-ONE knows about!"... Fascinating story Morgan and congratulations on recently winning WA’s Student Scientist of the Year! Read on: http://ow.ly/ueJv50CrGC4

24.01.2022 Bethany Clarke works for Shell and recently won WA Apprentice of the Year 2020. An exceptional student achieving high ATAR at Perth's prestigious PLC, she chose vocational education and training (VET) rather than heading to University with fellow students. She explained when asked by friends why she chose VET she says:... I’ve just finished my training at the same time as you, and I’ve just bought my first home. Bethany believes that being a female in a male-dominated industry pushed her to become a more confident version of herself: When I first flew offshore, I was 20 years old, quite shy and was one of only two females on the facility. I had to adapt to become an integral part of the team. I believe that being a young female is a huge advantage for my workplace, as I’m able to bring a new way of thinking to the team. Incredible introduction to your #ResourcesStory Bethany. We wish you ongoing success in your exciting career!
