Devils Gate

Students interested in electrical, engineering, mechanical and other careers in renewable energy or working for the Hydro went on an excursion to the Devil's Gate Power Plant in Barrington.

The Beacon Foundation organised this workplace exposure as part of their GRIP Program. (Growth industry Preparation Program)

They learnt about how electricity was generated and transferred from the power station and got to go into the inner working of the power station.

The students had to kit out in all the PPE safety gear, including ear protection. It was deafening in the power station.

After the tour, Students got to do a speed career session with four different workers and learn about their career progressions.

It was a really enjoyable and unique experience.
