Akorn working with Industry

Akorn works closely with Industry ….for without Industry and other Community Partners there would be no ‘Students @ Work‘ & Extended Programs.

Akorn thrives on the strong relationships built with industry partners, as they play a crucial role in shaping the experience for the participants.

Employees of industry partners develop the following skills:

• Public speaking
• Leadership
• Communication
• Fostering the ability to clearly communicate complex technical ideas to diverse audiences.
• Team Management
• Project Management

Through different engagement models, Akorn ensures meaningful and impactful partnerships with Industry Partners.  Akorn programs create a space for companies to maximise their contribution to the community.

Here are some exampes of how Akorn works with Industry Partners:

• Akorn places students within a workplace environment to complete a project brief that is relevant to the real work and projects that the company undertakes.
• Akorn facilitates the programs with the support of guest speakers and mentors from local companies.
