A TRC apprentice fitter and turner Chris Jones, who is currently undertaking the Cert III in Engineering at TAFE Queensland in Toowoomba, has organised with the help of his TRC supervisors to donate four centrifugal pumps that would have otherwise ended up as waste to benefit his classmates hands-on training. The collection of centrifugal pumps which were donated to TAFE, as they had reached their end of life, are widely used in industries like water treatment, manufacturing and the oil and gas industries and if purchased brand new could have cost TAFE Queensland a significant amount of money. “… I understand the costs associated with purchasing new pumps to use for training purposes and [I] feel it’s a much better option to let other students learn a bit about something they might not have seen before instead of going out as scrap… when I see something which I think would be an appropriate learning aid and [I] save it from the scrap bin for a little longer.” Portfolio and spokesperson for Water Infrastructure Services Councillor Bill Cahill said this donation was an example of Council wanting to help the community in any capacity they can.
