'Providing access and opportunities to South Australia's leaders of tomorrow'

In 2006 SA Water marked 150 years of providing water and wastewater services to South Australians. In conjunction with a strategic workforce planning initiative and in order to mark the 150th anniversary, SA Water has established a scholarship program to provide educational opportunities to young South Australians. As well as leaving a lasting legacy of this long period of public service, the Scholarship Program will also provide pathways into SA Water's future workforce and the wider business community.

SA Water officially launched its Scholarship Program in December 2006. The objectives of the SA Water Scholarship Program are to provide education opportunities to young South Australians from a range of backgrounds:

• disadvantaged youth
• indigenous persons
• persons of academic excellence
• young females pursuing study in non traditional roles

The SA Water Scholarship Program is in addition to but complementary of all exisiting recruitment program initiatives including traineeships, apprenticeships, and indigenous, graduate and vocational work experience programs.
