The Faculty of Business and Law’s (FBL) Industry and Community Hub recently held a thank you breakfast for more than 100 industry representatives who have generously supported students through work-integrated learning programs.

Bringing students, staff and industry partners together to celebrate the real-world learning experiences, the event highlighted the importance and success of FBL’s internship and industry project programs.

Recent Curtin graduate, Jake Dwyer, spoke about this experience with the internship program and how it directly led to his current employment. Leaders from across the faculty and industry also reflected on the value of collaboration – not just for students, but for organisations and the wider community.

The morning also showcased student industry projects, with students on hand to speak about the fantastic work created for clients as part of their Capstone units.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the event such a success.
