We’re proud to partner with Aurora Education Foundation which provides full time internships at organisations working to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through this program, Aurora supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander interns to develop practical skills, gain real-world career experience and build professional networks. Recently, we welcomed Geoffrey Beckett, a proud First Nations man from the Yuin Nation on the South Coast of NSW to the IT Engineering team for a full-time 4-week internship program. Geoffrey is currently living and studying in Meanjin, Brisbane, pursuing a Bachelor of Information Technology at the Queensland University of Technology. Geoffrey was eager to develop his industry skills and experience at TPG Telecom and was an instrumental part of the team supporting our customer portals, ordering platforms and back-end systems. Geoffrey travelled to Gadigal Country where our Barangaroo office stands to complete his internship. This opportunity provided Geoffrey with practical career experience and skills, and the opportunity to connect in person with his mother who surprised him with a visit while he was based in Sydney, travelling all the way from the Philippines to see him!
