Year 10 and Women in STEM Construction
A recent special guest and presenter for our Year 10 students was Mila Baturevych, currently Senior Project Manager for The Bays Station (Balmain) as part of Sydney Metro West.
Presenting to Year 10 students about STEM in Construction (STEMC) in association with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Mila is an engineer and was dynamic, realistic, and informative. She explained to Year 10 that your career path can dramatically change over time and you have to start at the low levels within a company and work your way up.
In Australia, there was no barrier to the career pathways that she chose. The study of Science was important as it promoted the ability to think critically, help with the challenges of problem solving and has allowed her to pursue various career opportunities – from publishing, architecture and the design of buildings to managing large New South Wales transport infrastructure projects. A STEM related career path can generate some very interesting and exciting career opportunities.
MLC School would like to thank Mila for her thought provoking presentation which has opened Year 10 minds to other career opportunities.
