Our Co-op students played an integral part in achieving our Victorian, South Australian and Tasmanian sales targets. Their ability to quickly learn our programs and product range was amazing, and each student brought their own knowledge and developed their own customer base. The Co-op Program has enabled our team to continue to provide the level of professionalism and service that we were looking for from each intern.

On top of the opportunity to develop my technical skills working with new hardware and software, I have also gained experience writing professional testing documentation, and developed my general problem solving and analytical skills, which is beneficial in any job. Any fellow students who have the opportunity to apply, I strongly recommend placing an application in, and then you can see what opportunities may come out of this.

Co-op is a great opportunity to build industry experience while refining all-important soft skills, which are vital in an increasingly competitive workplace. The satisfaction of completing a project with real life impacts and benefits was a highlight, and I also enjoyed the opportunity to explore a large scale manufacturing plant along with participating in customer site visits. An invaluable experience.
