Ashleigh Fotios, Bachelor of Commerce (Business Law)

I took part in an internship placement as a law clerk, assisting solicitors with day-to-day management of their cases. This was an eye-opening experience for me, as I got to see first-hand what it takes to be a successful legal professional. It greatly improved my self-confidence and my wonderfully supportive team empowered me to contribute my ideas.

Ryan Soares, Bachelor of Commerce (Economics and Finance)

From day one I started to engage in industry and in my final year I received a scholarship to intern for the NZ Taxpayers’ Union in Wellington, New Zealand.

Emma Potter, Bachelor of Science (Paramedicine)

I worked as an ambulance officer full-time during my second and third year at Curtin. By the end of my degree I was more than job-ready as I already had hundreds of hours of experience.

Dean Bussanich, Bachelor of Commerce (Management and Marketing)

My internship showed me the real world of marketing. It was rewarding to arrange promotions using techniques I had learned in university. The best part was being offered a job at the end of my placement.
