26. The Cadetship Experience

We meet five people at the Port Kembla Steelworks in Australia, including Miranda Du Toit, Callum Bourke, Rosa Tran, Michael Thompson and Simon Took. They are at different stages of their careers but they all have one thing in common: they started at BlueScope as cadets. In each conversation, you'll learn about their career paths, skills and what motivates them in their work.
