Data brainiac Isabel is working as a Data Intelligence Analyst at Transurban and loving it! As part of the Industry-based learning placement, Isabel has learnt so much already about SQL, Cloud Computing and Tableau. "I’ve had a chance to get involved with a Young Professionals group which connects interns, graduates and other young workers across the business – which is great for knowledge sharing, networking and socialising. I’m even co-hosting the next monthly meeting!"

Reporting analyst guru Wilbert is working within Origin Energy's Reporting and Data Operations team as part of his Industry-based learning placement. "The IBL program provides me with opportunities on top of my IT degree. Everyday I am surrounded by highly experienced, professional, and mature people of Origin Energy, whom have helped me learn many new skills over the last month. My experience as an IBL student in one word is 'amazing' and I am grateful for this opportunity."

Our own Monash Information Technology student, Eric Jiang, has seen his project MonPlan, a website built to simplify the planning process that students go through to determine which courses they should take, named a finalist in the Rising Star category of the iTnews Benchmark Awards.
