I did an industry placement at the National Australia Bank working as a demand and supply analyst. It was great to get an opportunity to undertake full-time work in my chosen field while still being a student. It was very satisfying to see what I had learnt in my studies had practical application in the workplace.
It was challenging at first but I adapted. I now know what the workforce expects of me and won’t succumb to any nasty surprises post graduation. This placement allowed me to shadow project managers and other IT staff to see if their career path and lifestyle suited my goals.
