Bridging the gap between classroom and industry

The Griffith University Bachelor of IT graduate traces his journey to the United States right back to his first work placement in Brisbane, at a start-up called RedEye. 'I wouldn't be here without the work placement, that's for sure,' he said. 'It was the first industry experience that I got, and it helped me build a starting point to get into the industry.' The placement was part of his final year studies and earned final credits towards his degree.
