Second year bachelor of Computing Systems student Ella Patterson feels she made a smart move by gaining the Year 13 Degree scholarship.

Ella is not only studying a well-regarded IT degree – but also saved herself $5000 in fees and another $8000 by living at home.  Not only that, but by staying in the region she managed to keep her part-time job!  Smart woman.

Next year, Ella will be in her final year and will be able to take advantage of an industry internship.  This six month placement is like a professional apprenticeship.

90% of the graduates are converting their internship into employment, and of those 2/3 gain a job with their place of internship.  IT is on the long term skills shortage list – so if you are looking for a job with a great future then consider computing
