Shaping job-ready graduates
During my final year at Griffith University, I completed the Work Integrated Learning course. This program gave me the opportunity to gain industry experience through a 12-week, in-person placement, where I was fortunate enough to learn from subject matter experts. This hands-on experience allowed me to put into practice the skills I had learned as a student, boosted my confidence, and inspired me to become a lifelong learner.
