QR National has recently established a scholarship to support CQUniversity students through the final years of their degree, through the provision of financial support ($7000 per semester paid fortnightly for up to two years), paid vacation experience, and also a pathway to employment after graduation. This is an opportunity students studying Electrical and Civil engineering will not want to miss.

"QR National is committed to building our engineering capabilities in the regions.  One way we are doing this is through supporting CQUniversity students through the final years of their engineering degree," says Paul Huth, acting Group General Manager Infrastructure Services.

All Bachelor of Engineering students with a major in Civil and Electrical Engineering are invited to attend the Open Morning Tea to learn about QR National, careers and scholarships opportunities.

When:            Wednesday May 11

Time:              9am to 11.30am
