At RPC, we believe the future of engineering is built through strong partnerships between industry and education. Our long‑standing collaboration with universities like University of Newcastle, UNSW, University of Technology Sydney and Deakin University helps bridge the gap between theory and real‑world application and the results speak for themselves.

By opening our facilities, supporting student projects, and offering vocational placements, we’re giving emerging engineers hands‑on experience with composites, real projects, and real challenges. As Virginie Murphy our Engineering Manager puts it, engineering is all about problem‑solving, and there’s no better classroom than the workplace.

Our HR team has seen a 100% placement‑to‑employment conversion rate this past year, proof that when students bring curiosity, initiative and our core values (Teamwork, Accountability, Performance, Integrity, Respect), they thrive at RPC.

Investing in emerging engineers isn’t just good for students, it strengthens our industry, our capability and our future.

“It’s always impressive to see the level of innovation and initiative students bring. For us, it’s a great way to support emerging talent, contribute to real-world applications of composites and see first-hand the potential of future engineers” – Leigh Spencer, Research & Development Technical Services Manager

We are proud to help shape tomorrow’s engineers.
