Students benefit from industry-led projects as they have the opportunity to work on real-world problems, gain valuable exposure to industry and company-specific project management, as well having a tangible application for the technical skills they are learning via their studies.
But the rewards extend beyond that of the student, with organisations experiencing fantastic outcomes and benefits, including:
technical resources dedicated to solving a technical problem at a lower (or no) cost
having a team member dedicated to one challenge only which results in faster results for the company
making progress on lower priority projects without diluting in-house resources
having the opportunity to assess the quality of students for prospective hiring
students bring a fresh perspective and a new way of looking at and solving problems; and
strengthening industry-academic relationships
Each WA university offers different types of industry-led project opportunities. You can view the University offerings below.
We would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which the WADSIH office is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation.
