Forging links between schools and industry

The Engineering Link Group started in 1994, launching with a three-day camp for Year 11 students. Since then we have expanded to offer programs to year 11 and 12 students and their teachers throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. In 2018, we ran programs that directly influenced over 1000 students and teachers.

Partners

The Engineering Link Group partners with universities, industry bodies and businesses to provide engaging and unique learning opportunities.

TELG have had a long association with Engineers Australia as an industry partner, strategic advisor and sponsor of our various education programs. We work in partnership with universities to meet both institution’s goals of increasing the number of informed students studying engineering, which in turn has made a significant difference in the number of quality graduates in the three states we work in.
