    ECU Youth Work graduate

    "ECU has helped me realise the type of youth worker I want to be"

    My study experience at ECU has been really enjoyable. The lecturers are extremely helpful, providing me with career advice as well as support within the course.

    So far, I've undertaken three work placements, and all have been valuable. Not only have they helped me put theory into practice, they’ve also helped me realise the type of youth worker I want to be.

    ECU South West Accounting student

    "My work placement at AMD Chartered Accountants will help me prepare for my future career"

    I already had a strong finance background and wanted to extend my knowledge. ECU’s South West Campus has allowed me to pursue studies while still living in Bunbury. The ongoing support from lecturers has been phenomenal and I’ve made friends for life.

    "The best part of being at WAAPA is having the access and privilege of being taught by some incredible teachers, being surrounded by creativity day in and day out and having the space to fail"

    The arts industry in Australia is benefitting from some very clever, creative young theatre makers. Makers that I am extremely proud to be in the WAAPA alumni pool with.
