P2X Future: Internship Opportunity

P2X Future is a Decarb Hub internship initiative led by the Powerfuels including Hydrogen Network aimed at fostering career-readiness and industry collaboration for students enrolled in network partner universities. The program provides students with the opportunity to undertake meaningful, paid internships with leading industry partners in the P2X sector.

Each internship is supported by a $10,000 (AUD) P2X Future award funded by the Decarb Hub and administered through the student’s university, in collaboration with an industry partner.

Objectives

• Provide experience and skills development for students in P2X and related disciplines.
• Strengthen collaborations between academia and industry in the clean energy transition.
• Support the development of a skilled workforce aligned with NSW net-zero goals.
• Enable students to contribute to P2X-related research and development projects.
