The ECU-IBM partnership

This partnership gives ECU undergraduate and postgraduate students an opportunity to complete a paid internship during their studies and a possible employment offer when they graduate.

The internship is offered to students who are already building the skills critical to WA's economic future.

This includes user experience designers, software engineers, data scientists, mobile application developers and project managers.
