"Thanks to the opportunities ECU has provided, I now have an interesting and fulfilling job in a field I’m passionate about."
Throughout high school I was interested in geography but I was unsure how I could apply these skills in the workplace. I attended an ECU information evening and that helped me to decide on studying Planning at ECU. The aspect I enjoy most about ECU’s Planning degree is the wide range of subjects available including ecology, business studies, geography and community work. In my second year of uni I received a scholarship which secured me a 12-week paid work experience at the City of Joondalup. At the conclusion of my scholarship I was offered a permanent position. The ability to combine what I have learnt at university with real-life experience has helped me to understand how it all comes together.
