Power partnership helping to keep the lights on
Published on 19 July, 2011
CQUniversity's participation in the Power Generation Skills Development partnership is boosting the pool of professionals available for industry in this vital field, only five years after the concept was mooted.
It was back in 2006 that CS Energy, Stanwell Corporation and Tarong Energy approached CQUniversity, QUT and UQ to develop and deliver courses for the industry.
There have been a total of 179 students through CQUniversity's five courses on offer as components of the initiative.
Our component courses have been attracting personnel from Queensland Alumina, Gladstone Power (NRG), BHP, Siemens and various consulting companies.
Students can undertake a Master of Engineering (Power Generation) and/or Graduate Certificate (Power Generation) at any of the partner universities. CQUniversity also provides a Graduate Diploma (Power Generation) option.
