    ECU Sport, Recreation and Event Management

    Work placements at sports organisations were extremely valuable

    I have always wanted to work in sport and events, so ECU's Sport, Recreation and Event Management course was a perfect choice, as it enabled me to mix the sport side of study with business.

    Work placements at sports organisations throughout my degree have been extremely valuable. I gained hands-on experience at the Perth Wildcats, West Perth Football Club, and Badminton WA.

  • Lauren Menegola

    Lauren Menegola

    ECU Human Resource Management and Management graduate

    The atmosphere at ECU was friendly and welcoming. Over the course of my degree, I have made some lifelong friends through volunteer groups, social events and classes.

    Whilst studying at ECU, I was an ambassador for the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI). This helped me to successfully apply for the AHRI internship program, which secured me an internship in the HR department at CGG.

    After my three weeks interning at CGG, I was offered a contract with the company, where I worked whilst I completed my studies. This has provided a great opportunity to apply the theory I learnt throughout my degree.
