About the session

Join UQ staff, students, and alumni partners to explore how partnerships can enhance our courses, and programs. This session features interwoven presentations discussing a range of partnership options and will share experiences. Mark and partners will focus on alumni partnerships with 3 types of alumni: student, recent graduate, and senior industry alumni. While Henri and Frederik will explore how partnered learning can be used to develop an entrepreneurial mindset in students to set them up for life-long learning and success. These partnered approaches increase the employability of our graduates, strengthens industry-academia linkages, and overall provides students with a real-world learning experience.
