My experience at UQ has been challenging and fun. I undertook an internship at W Brisbane. It was an amazing firsthand experience of a fast-paced HR environment. It was so beneficial and complemented the theory I learnt in my business courses.
Through my program, I gained invaluable insights and resources from industry professionals. My dual degree allowed me to maximise my study within a shorter timeframe.
I met my now boss from doing the QTIC Student Tourism Judging and have been able to apply program learnings to my career. I also participated in the QTIC mentoring program to get advice on entrepreneurship and next steps.
