OUR Mission
The Monash Energy Club aims to address an opportunity that has been unavailable to Monash students: a student-run organisation targeting every faculty within Monash University, to provide exclusive career opportunities and the forum required to learn about Australia’s energy transformation.
We aim to equip our members with the latest knowledge in Australia's energy sector, ensuring they are well-informed about cutting-edge technologies, policies, news, and trends. Additionally, we facilitate direct connections between our industry partners and students, offering exclusive internship, graduate and PhD opportunities.
