NEACH Sponsors CESS: Investing in the Future of Civil Engineering
At NEACH, we're passionate about nurturing the next generation of engineering talent. This year, we're proud to announce our Silver Sponsorship of the QUT Civil Engineering Student Society (CESS), a partnership to bridge the critical gap between academic learning and professional practice.
The transition from study to industry can be challenging, and organisations like CESS play a vital role in preparing students for real-world engineering careers. Student organisations like CESS are instrumental in preparing tomorrow's engineers for the complex challenges of real-world industries. CESS equips students through strategic events, networking opportunities, and skill-focused workshops to give them the practical knowledge and professional confidence needed to excel.
Our sponsorship goes beyond financial support; it's a commitment to cultivating future industry leaders. This partnership resonates deeply with our team, particularly our managing director, Ryza Garbacz, who served as CESS president in 2001 during his time at QUT. Ryza's journey from student leadership to heading a nationally recognised steel fabrication company embodies the power of early industry engagement and mentorship.
Throughout the year, NEACH will actively participate in CESS events, including:
Networking nights that connect students directly with industry professionals
Technical workshops offering hands-on insights into engineering practices
Mentoring programs providing personalised career guidance
Our goal is simple: to offer students a holistic view of the civil engineering and steel fabrication landscapes, helping them understand the breadth of opportunities available and the skills required to succeed.
This sponsorship represents more than an annual commitment—it's an investment in innovation, expertise, and the future of engineering. By supporting CESS, we're helping to cultivate a generation of technically proficient engineers who are also forward-thinking, collaborative, and prepared to tackle the industry's most pressing challenges.
We're incredibly excited about this partnership's potential and its impact on emerging engineering talent. Together with CESS, we're building bridges, literally in our professional work and figuratively in supporting the next wave of experienced engineers.
