The school was at least able to find me and the other students some work experience.
Having recently completed a similar course in south oz, I'm surprised the school up there is having to find work experience for it's students. I would have thought it would be up to the individual student to chase up work experience with companies they would like to work for??? This is the way it worked for our course, we had students traveling from Adelaide to Darwin, Townsville, Brisbane & Melbourne.
I'm sure all the students on that course who decided to stay in the industry got jobs from the places they did their work experience, some even had multiple offers of work!
