Perth has been through many a boom and is transforming once again, but this time there are unprecedented numbers of experienced engineers and scientists that have increased availability to take on new challenges.
This event is an opportunity for sharing ideas, looking for opportunities and tapping the pool of world-class engineering talent here in Perth.
The event is intended to provide a forum for SUT members to discuss the formation of a special interest group focused on finding:
- Opportunities for pro-bono or voluntary contributions to support education and the community
- Support for mentoring, training or career episode management
- Opportunities for collaboration and networking for near-retired and under-employed

The Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) has cancelled an inaugural conference due to take place in London on November 15 – 17th.
A spokesman for SUT said: “SUT’s council has taken the decision to cancel the 2016 technical conference in London in response to concerns about market conditions in the oil and gas industry impacting on interest. We are committed to a full schedule of events and courses including the established Offshore Site Investigation and Geotechnics (OSIG) conference, which takes place next year and felt it was prudent to focus our attention on these already established events.”
The YES! Committee are looking for an expression for interest from the SUT community. If we have the interest, SUT will submit a corporate group of 10 subsea professionals for a “speechcraft” course.
EOI due date: Please email Corelle, [email protected] by Friday, 13th May
Venue: CBD location
Anticipated course dates: Tuesday evenings for 6 weeks: 7 June / 14 June / 21 June / 28 Jun / 5 July / 12 July
Course time: 5.30 pm – 7.30 pm
Cost: $455/person + merchant fee if paying by credit card. (Toastmasters is exempt from GST and no GST is payable. Please note, this price includes a small admin charge for SUT.)
Speechcraft courses are fast track courses designed to teach you the fundamentals of public speaking and provide a supportive environment for you to rapidly build these skills with repeated practice at workshops run over several weeks. Many participants have little confidence, significant nerves or bad habits they wish to overcome by participating in our programs, yet all are delighted with their personal achievements by the end of the course. You will gain confidence in all aspects of communication, including written and impromptu speeches, body language, speaking with and without visual aids, active listening and critical evaluation. No previous public speaking experience is required. Courses are limited to 10 to ensure plenty of practice giving introductions, impromptu and prepared speeches and receiving detailed constructive feedback from your trainers and peers. It’s common that people often have to miss a session or two for professional or personal reasons, flexible options are offered.
