NHP – Electrical Engineering Products

About NHP

NHP is a wholly Australian-owned company that manufactures, imports and merchandises a wide range of low-voltage industrial switchgear, motor control equipment and other technical electrical products.

Partnership overview

NHP and Box Hill Institute first developed a relationship in mid-1998 when NHP was invited to sponsor the Centre for Electrical Trades' learning materials.

Due to the success of this relationship, it was decided to move it to a higher and more formal level alliance that will benefit both parties. The partner alliance builds on a number of synergies between the two organisations, including a commitment to training and an emphasis on the development of people.

When Box Hill Institute suffered a serious electrical fire in early 2000, NHP came to the rescue, and a potential long-term closure was reduced to short-term inconvenience. Box Hill Institute is a showcase of NHP's products and services, and is constantly raising the company’s profile to industry and the wider community.

Student benefits

NHP generously provide the Centre for Electrical & Refrigeration Trades with electrical components and electrical switchgear equipment. This enables our students to train on equipment that is commonly-used in the electrotechnology industry.

They also provide a scholarship to assist a second year electrical apprentice in their electrical apprenticeship schooling. The scholarship is primarily aimed at a student who has a low socioeconomic background. The scholarship provides the student with the academic fees, prescribed texts and materials for one year of study at Box Hill Institute.

Apprentices and post trade students attending the Centre, both utilise NHP’s training facilities and function rooms to keep up-to-date with the latest switchgear and associated components used in industry today.

Staff benefits

NHP support ongoing training; they readily welcome members of Box Hill Institute staff to further develop their work skills by attending NHP seminars and forums specialising in topics relevant to the electrotechnology industry.
