The Power Up Scholarship Celebration is more than a formal welcome. It is an opportunity to recognise the passion, potential and commitment of students who are interested in helping shape Australia’s future power workforce.

Each year, the event brings together new scholars, graduating scholars and the broader API community to reflect on what it means to be part of the Power Up Program. It is a chance to hear from students who have made the most of their scholarship journey, built industry connections, explored career pathways and grown their understanding of the power sector.

For incoming scholars, the celebration marks the beginning of a new chapter. Through the Power Up Program, students gain access to a supportive community, industry events, career development opportunities, resources and connections that can help them better understand where a career in power and energy could take them.

For graduating scholars, the event is a moment to reflect on their experiences, share advice and celebrate the next steps in their careers.
