Sponsorships

Transgrid has partnered with Charles Sturt University to help train the nation’s next generation of engineers and address Australia’s infrastructure skills shortage. 100 engineering scholarship recipients will be supported with $20,000 during their studies at Charles Sturt University. We will also be collaborating with the university to develop regional career pathways for them through engineering cadet placements with Transgrid and other organisations across regional NSW.

Transgrid is proud to partner with Mandylights to bring Lightvision, a dazzling light show and new experience to the City of Wagga Wagga as part of the city’s destination winter event, Festival of W (FoW), providing a memorable display incorporating light, sound and local and First Nations storytelling to inspire locals and visitors alike.

Transgrid is delighted to be supporting Moama Lights, an initiative showcasing local stories of the Echuca Moama through cutting edge lighting installations and projections. This immersive sound and light trail extends over 1km through a natural bush setting, celebrating indigenous culture, riverboat heritage, the natural beauty of Horseshoe Lagoon through to present day life on the majestic Murray River.

The Clontarf Foundation is a charitable organisation that works to improve the education and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men. The program works on building students’ self-esteem and confidence to help them complete year 12 in school and encourages them to participate in education, work and society in a positive way. Established in January 2020, this program aims to provide opportunities for our people across the business to support these young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through volunteering and community engagement programs.

We have partnered with UNSW to sponsor a scholarship and summer camp as part of the Women in Engineering program. The scholarship is available to a first-year undergraduate studying engineering at UNSW, and provides an opportunity for the recipient to participate in a mentoring program and work experience at Transgrid. The camp takes place in January, with students from more than 70 schools in NSW visiting our sites and interacting with our people during the three-day experience.

Career Trackers is a not-for-profit organisation that helps Indigenous young adults attend university and graduate with high marks, gain industry experience, and work towards bright professional futures. We welcome two interns a year through our partnership, and provide these aspiring Indigenous students with support, work experience and training. Work placements take place during the summer break and provide students with an invaluable experience as well as support with developing their academic and professional capabilities.
