Coming Aboard Soon: Naval Architect

Ever stared at a ship and thought, “How does that thing even float?”
Turns out, that’s exactly the kind of curiosity a Naval Architect needs.
We’re working on a brand-new experience for Work Window, and this time, we’re heading to the shipyard. Naval Architect is part of the new version of simulations we’re building—more detailed, more interactive, and just as focused on helping people discover where they might fit in the world of work.
What’s This Experience About?
Naval Architects are the brains behind boats—not just the big ones either. They help design, test, and troubleshoot vessels of all shapes and sizes.
In this upcoming experience, you will:
Try your hand at key design decisions
Step into realistic work scenarios
Get a feel for the balance between creativity and technical know-how
Explore the tools and thinking used in actual projects
You won’t just observe. They’ll be involved in the problem-solving, thinking through trade-offs, and weighing up design options in real-time.
It’s the next level of immersion—and a great fit for anyone curious about STEM-related pathways, marine engineering, or the kind of job that makes waves (literally).
What Makes It Different?
This is the first of a new style of Work Window experience: same clear goals, just more hands-on. Users will take on simulated tasks, make decisions, and see how their choices play out.
They might be designing a hull, troubleshooting weight distribution, or figuring out what happens when one small change throws off the whole balance. It’s an experience designed to mirror the problem-solving and exploration involved in the real job.
It’s still about why the work matters and who might enjoy it—we’re just giving them more to explore while they figure it out.
Backed by a Big Idea
Naval Architect is being built as part of a Federal Government–funded initiative to boost engagement in STEM-related career pathways, including those in the Defence Industry.
It’s a big vote of confidence in what we’re building, and we’re stoked to be part of a national push to help more people find meaningful, future-focused careers.
What’s Next?
Keep an eye out—we’ll soon be sharing updates on another new experience: Enrolled Nurse. Like Naval Architect, it’s built with the same philosophy: let people feel the work before they pursue it.
These new simulations are our next evolution. More depth. More interaction. More "aha" moments.
Until then, we hope this gives you a glimpse of where we’re headed.
Here’s to helping more people find their path.
