Scholarship winners  will have paid work at each of these companies to learn from a key mentor and  gain first-hand experience in the work environment, while also completing their  university education.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Duncan Bentley, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Curtin Business School said  the scholarship program will offer recipients a head start in business,  including vacation employment with the companies, and a $5000 annual cash  payment over the course of their degree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe scholarships will provide recipients with the ultimate learning  experience. They will learn from industry leaders and will have the opportunity  to build their networks through the four companies,\u201d Professor Bentley said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe demand for professional experience can be overwhelming for graduates  when they first enter the workforce. The scholarship program ensures that CBS  works closely with industry to match university-level talent with real-world  opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curtin is already known for its links with business and industry and the  scholarships fit within the scope of the new \u2018triple-I\u2019 curriculum model  introduced by Curtin recently to meet student and industry needs.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is another way for Curtin to address the skills shortage and  is a reflection of the growing trend of universities collaborating with industry  to ensure graduates \u2018hit the ground running\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The scholarships are available to four students enrolling in the first year  of an undergraduate degree at Curtin Business School in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the scholarships please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs.curtin.edu.au\/business\/\">http:\/\/www.cbs.curtin.edu.au\/business\/<\/a> about-cbs\/scholarships-and-bursaries<\/p>\n<p><span>Modified: 5 September 2008<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strong links between Curtin Business School and industry have lead to the creation of four new scholarships that will give future students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with industry leaders while they study.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4275,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":"","_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"4680,6582,7956,4739,6278,7605","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_research-areas":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"research-areas":[],"class_list":["post-17300","media-release","type-media-release","status-publish","hentry","category-campus-and-global-community"],"acf":{"post_options":{"":null,"additional_content":{"title":"","content":"","image":false},"related_courses":false,"credits":{"author":"","photographer":"","media":false},"display_author":true,"banner":{"image":false}}},"featured_image":false,"author_meta":{"first_name":"Curtin","last_name":"University","display_name":"Curtin University"},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media-release\/17300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media-release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/media-release"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media-release\/17300\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17300"},{"taxonomy":"research-areas","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/research-areas?post=17300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
