Today P6 had a visit from Mr Sanderson. P6 had lots of fun learning about oil rigs and what you need to do to be a surveyor.
Mr Sanderson explained that there is a crisis for jobs in this area and encouraged us to think about a career in this field, especially the girls.
You only have to work for two weeks and then you get four weeks off. You get the same wage as a footballer and the food on the oil rig is amazing and it is like a hotel with a football pitch,gym, swimming pool and a squash court. The downside is that you miss your family.
You don’t need to go to university as you learn on the job but you need to be good at maths.
I wish to Thank Miss Morgan and the Primary 6’s for allowing the opportunity to come in and discuss the potential opportunities in the Engineering sector and inparticular the offshore industry.
If I’ve managed to inspire a single pupil to consider an Engineering job! I’d be delighted!
Best of luck with your future studies!! Keep up the good work
