Events & Open Days
RMIT Trades Experience
Join us at RMIT's Trades Experience to take the first step towards a career in trades. RMIT is hosting a Trades Experience for students keen on finding out more about a trade. At the Trades Innovation Centre, students will experience four interactive stations where
they will rotate through four hands-on stations led by RMIT teachers and students.
The stations will cover the following trades:
- Carpentry: Learn how to safely use a nail gun and practice basic construction techniques to make a mini stool.
- Plumbing: Join a pipe connection challenge and pull apart a tap to see how they work from the inside out.
- Electrical and Refrigeration: Practice using wire strippers, learn the basics of circuitry and wiring, and experiment with using thermal cameras.
- Surveying: Use specialised equipment to measure distance and see how the experts use laser scanners to capture accurate measurements.

Trades Innovation Centre, building 262, 225-245 Plenty Rd, Bundoora VIC 3082
