For this year, RMIT Motorsport has
implemented a structured recruitment
process for new members, which
spans approximately one to two
months.
Following this period, recruits are
assigned to the system leads of their
choice. This approach fosters an
environment in which recruits are
actively engaged in a diverse range of
activities, including design,
manufacturing, and assembly, both
during and immediately after the
recruitment process.
By immersing recruits in various tasks,
we enhance their learning experiences
and ensure they acquire essential
hands-on skills. This learning not only
aids in memory retention but also
equips recruits with the knowledge
necessary to mentor and transfer
these skills to future team members.
This marks a significant improvement
from previous years, when a lack of a
structured recruitment process led to
low retention rates and limited
knowledge transfer.
