This program is not available

Check out alternative 'Workplace Learning Programs' here.
Summer Program (24 January to 18 February 2005)
Here's what Team Yellow UOW- National
‘Runners up’ in 2004 HEWSO said:
"Thank you for organising HEWSO and
making this event such a great and worthwhile
experience. We hope many more students will
be able to participate in this and similar projects."
- “thank you for organising HEWSO,
it was a great experience and subsequently led to the beginning
of a great job.” Clare Hathway,
Blue Team.
How it works
Each participating university may have up to 5 student teams.
The teams are presented with a business issue/problem and
set the task of presenting their solution one month later.
The host employer then selects the strongest UOW team to go
forward to the national finals to compete against the other
universities involved.
In 2001 we were linked with Nortel,
Centrelink in 2002, the
Illawarra Credit Union in 2003,
and BlueScope Steel in 2004.
Initiated by the National Association of Graduate
Careers Advisory Services (NAGCAS),
HEWSO is part funded by the Department
of Education Science and Training (DEST)
and has the support and endorsement of the following major
organisations:
Open to any discipline, undergraduate or postgraduate,
domestic or international students - all are welcome to be
involved!
Preference will be given to final and penultimate year students.
With a maximum of 40 students we recommend you apply early.
