Student stories
When I enrolled at ECU, little did I know that it would lead to me being a part of something historic
In my last semester of my course I got an industry placement in the Events Department of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club.
Due to my positive work ethic, I was offered casual employment. In the lead-up to Grand Final I was suddenly asked to fly to Melbourne to fill in for a permanent staff member. I was in charge of managing security, caterers and audio technicians. All the skills and theory I picked up in my years at ECU helped me play a part in running the biggest function the club ever had – their historic first grand final.
My postgraduate Project Management degree helped in securing a job
I am currently working at the Public Transport Authority (PTA) as a Project Support Officer. My postgraduate Project Management degree helped in securing a job, as most of my colleagues had extensive work experience. I am the youngest team member and was able to get this opportunity solely because of my studies at ECU.
My ECU studies have taught me that hard work pays off
My study experience has been amazing and I am grateful for the connections I have built with friends from my futsal team, who I now consider my family.
I first began my journey with ECU through the Indigenous University Orientation Course. This pathway gave me the guidance and time to help me pick a career I am passionate about.
The lecturers offer great support and will always do their best to help you out when you need.
My ECU studies have taught me that hard work pays off and I am proving that more and more each semester, as I get closer to the end of my studies.
