Where Projects Lead
Career outcomes from students who completed our project-based learning program
"The portfolio project I completed during the program became the centerpiece of every job interview. Employers could see exactly what I was capable of producing, and it led to three job offers within six weeks of graduation. Now I'm working at one of Sydney's mid-tier investment firms, doing exactly the kind of analysis I learned through the program."
