ECU has developed strong partnerships with industry groups since we were established in 1991. We collaborate with all types of businesses, including new start-ups, small to medium enterprises, not-for-profits, community organisations, government and large corporates in the resources sector.
We connect our teaching and research programs to our local and global communities through a range of active industry projects, exhibitions, and creative collaborations. This unique interaction has enabled us to establish professional affiliations with a number of partners within the growing creative industries. This gives students the opportunity to engage with industry across a range of disciplines and professions.
The School of Business and Law develops industry-ready graduates who not only have strong discipline knowledge, but also have the employability skills and industry insights necessary to gain a competitive advantage in the global job market.
The Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program is designed to allow high performance students to spend time embedded in an industry setting prior to graduation.
Strong partnerships with schools and early childhood centres support an extensive program of teaching, research and community engagement.
