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 for students from years 5 to 12, and their teachers, throughout Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Since our inception, we have successfully operated programs that directly influenced over 30000 students and teachers.
People
Greg Millican
CEO and Operational Director
Greg is a high school teacher with more than 30 years of experience and a passion for teaching mathematics and physics. Greg helped form the Engineering Link Group and initially balanced his time between a full-time teaching load and delivering the Group’s programs. For three years 2014 to 2016, Greg was able to dedicate his full energy to growing TELG until its programs were running in three states. He now runs the Mathematics department at St Eugene College, and supports Paul in his work with TELG.
Paul Richards

Paul is the inspiration and driving force of the Engineering Link Group. He started the Group in 1994 with help from Greg and despite retiring from teaching biology in 2001 he continues to work tirelessly to engage young students in science and maths.
Partners
The Engineering Link Group partners with universities, industry, and business to provide engaging and unique learning opportunities.
TELG has 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.
