Event Highlights

Local Roots, Global Futures: Empowering Regional Students Through Industry Engagement

Celebrating the potential of regional students and the broader impact of their industry experiences.

Students have easier access to tertiary education than ever before. In Australia, thousands of students from rural, regional, and remote areas study online, on campus, and through Regional University Study Hubs.

Courses are increasingly focused on work placements and industry experience. Beyond the known issues associated with costs of access and placements, how does that impact our RRR students? What opportunities are we missing?
