Prosple Profiles

One thing that drew me to applying for the graduate programme at Contact is that they offer specialised work in some very unique places. For me, the ability to live in Central Otago on the Clutha River comes with the benefits of skiing, biking, surfing, hiking, all in some very sweet scenery. 

Jamuna Sharma Dhakal studied Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering at the Auckland University of Technology and is now a Graduate Engineer at Powerco.

Contact ticked all the boxes: sustainability as its core focus, commitment to community, work flexibility, and caring for their people.

My favourite thing about Powerco is the people. Having good relationships with people across the business has been great for me.

Students should definitely take up internships. They should grab the opportunity to work in any organization, gain exposure and develop the necessary skills. The experience that we build over the years helps us in getting a better job profile.

In my opinion, the importance of an internship lies in the career that you ultimately want to pursue. If your future career demands experience, then taking on internships is the right thing to do.
