In your opinion, what advantage does the UNSW Co-op Program offer its scholars in their career development?
Industry placements with the Co-op Program give graduates a huge competitive advantage over non co-op students. A University degree and 1.5 years work experience is invaluable to securing a graduate position.
What advice would you give to high school students considering the Co-op Program and a career in the field you work in?
If you are interested in technology but not a 'techie' then the Business Information Systems Co-op Program will give you a broad understanding of how technology and business process work together. There are a large number of non-technical roles in technology departments including Project Managers and Business Analysts.
