New career pathways

New career pathways

The ASI has partnered with the SA Government and industry on a successful new initiative to promote steel as a career pathway. 

Welcoming the ASI’s Careers in Steel exhibition stand at SA’s biggest annual careers event the Adelaide Careers and Employment Expo on May 12 and 13, head of people and culture at Liberty Primary Steel Melita Lee described the expo and stand as “well worth it”. 

ASI members Bowhill Engineering, Ferretti International, Ahrens, Gadaleta Steel Fabrication & subsidiary Australian Steel Detailers, LAI Group and Liberty GFG manned the ASI stand and actively engaged students and jobseekers over the two days promoting career pathway opportunities in steel and steel fabrication. 

The SA Minister for Education, Training and Skills provided a grant to ASI to help offset the cost of the stand, with ASI providing all the promotional collateral (banners, a video loop on steel fabrication, careers in steel brochures, a steel fabricator career flyer and a virtual weld simulator and instructor provided by Weld Australia and organised by the SA Department for Education).
