Join us for an insightful masterclass hosted by Rio Tinto and QAL as they share how mental models can help elevate your thinking and give you a competitive edge in your engineering career. Learn the proven WRAP decision-making process that tests assumptions and prepares you for both success and failure, and practice the art of asking the right questions to break through mental blocks. You’ll also hear from recent graduates about their experiences transitioning from university into a large-scale, dynamic, industrial workplace. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities working onsite has to offer, and what a day-in-the-life of a graduate engineer can look like across a range of disciplines.
