The ATA and Cummins South Pacific have today opened nominations for their Cummins Young Tech Award as part of this year's Technology and Maintenance Conference (TMC 25).
Sponsored by Cummins since 2013, the award - formerly known as the Cummins Scholarship - was renamed to recognise and celebrate the next generation of talent in Australia's heavy vehicle workshops.
ATA Chair Mark Parry said: "We thank Cummins for their continued support of this award. It is a valuable stepping stone for young service technicians to grow their industry skills and knowledge.
"The three award recipients will have the chance to attend targeted training sessions and practical workshops that align with their career goals, while also connecting with professionals across the truck technology, service, and maintenance sectors."
Open to apprentice or qualified heavy vehicle service technicians aged 18-25, the three prize packages on offer consist of-
- full registration to the 2025 Technology and Maintenance Conference providing access to all sessions, workshops and social events including the Castrol Gala Awards Dinner
- return airfares and accommodation (if relevant)
- guided tours of two Cummins Melbourne facilities
- a Cummins merchandise pack.
Nominations for the 2025 Cummins Young Tech Award are now open and need to be submitted before 11pm (Canberra time), Sunday 24 August 2025. You can nominate yourself or a deserving member of your team.
The winners will be announced in the ATA's weekly newsletter on 26 September 2025.
