“The program gives students a taste of what it’s like to work in the water industry right here in Gippsland,” Mr Moss said. 

“We offer a paid opportunity for interns to work in their chosen field, with dedicated mentoring and coaching.  

“The internship runs for a period of up to 12 weeks, and interns will work in a team to deliver for our local community.” 

Applications are open in the following areas: 

• Engineering: civil, environmental, mechanical, mechatronics, electrical and process

For some students the program can be used to gain credit towards their degrees.
