GET READY FOR WORK AND FOR LIFE

A Career Kickstart Before You Graduate

No matter where you come from, RMIT’s work-integrated learning, projects with industry partners, and graduate and employer networks will help you follow your own unique path.

Perhaps you’ll build a business while you study, like Information Technology (IT) students Henry Bezuidenhout and Michael MacRae (pictured above, left and centre), who developed their First Time Pregnancy app while at RMIT. The app quickly hit half a million downloads and helped launch their successful app development business.

Educat ion That Gets You Not iced

What you learn at university needs to reflect what’s happening in the world of work. RMIT programs are always changing to reflect current and future industry developments and practices, so you’ll graduate with skills and experience that will get you noticed by the people who matter. That’s what happened for RMIT advertising students Hayley Carra, Azahn Munas and Kate Gillam (pictured above). Their innovative ad campaign, which was developed as part of their degree, sparked interest from advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather.

Sk i l ls That Make Companies L ike Google Seek You Out

After completing a study tour in Canada, RMIT marketing student Luke Tengstrom (pictured above) was searching for a new challenge. He ended up where every search begins – Google. Luke fought off 7000 other applicants to score the ‘holy grail’ of marketing internships at the search engine giant. Luke isn’t taking all the credit though – he puts his success down to his RMIT program’s strong grounding in the digital space and focus on employer-valued skills such as creative thinking and problem-solving.

Student Profile

“I love how RMIT is focused on industry connections, networking and life experience. You’re encouraged to use your initiative. I had to find opportunities, internships and work experience, which included an internship in the RMIT media department and writing for Catalyst magazine.

“I also went on an exchange to Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. I wrote for the student publication and had a weekly column called Mim Meets Montreal.

“While in Montreal, I received an email from RMIT asking if I’d like to be mentored by the CEO of News Corp, Robert Thomson. Robert said if you’re ever in New York, pop by the The Wall Street Journal and visit me. So I did. And because News Corp is involved with Vogue I asked Robert about internships there. Six months later, I’ve organised an internship at Vogue Australia in the editorial department. The connections RMIT has with institutions around the world are invaluable.”

GRADUATE WITH SO MUCH MORE THAN A PIECE OF PAPER

Your potential is limitless. RMIT gives you a learning experience to match.Whether you’re looking to secure pract ica l exper ience re lated to your program, col laborate wi th peers and industry, or pursue a passion that ’s outs ide your f ie ld of study, RMIT supports you through every exper ience that takes you c loser to where you want to go.

Br ing Ideas to L i fe Through the RMIT Business Plan Compet i t ion

Are you studying business but designing sustainable furniture on the side? An arts student with an idea for a wellbeing app? Want to launch a range of active wear with a social conscience? The RMIT Business Plan Competition supports today’s start-ups and tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. The competition includes free seminars, networking opportunities and a prize pool of up to $100,000 to help you bring your business idea to life.

Col laborate Outs ide the Classroom

Sometimes, two heads really are better than one. Fashion graduate Jodie Hayes and advertising graduate Emma Bäcklund (pictured above) combined Jodie’s devotion to design, Emma’s marketing know-how and their mutual love of the ocean to launch U&I, a unique female-only surfwear brand that empowers the women who wear it. The RMIT duo is already riding the wave of success in Australia, and is now looking to take the business to the world.

Exper iences That Put Your Ideas in the Spot l ight

Second year RMIT computer science student Josh Caratelli (pictured above), whose iPad game Smog Game won a National iAward, will now represent Australia on the world stage. Josh credits his industry-focused studies and the support he received at RMIT for the success of Smog Game.

Mentors Who’ve Actual ly Been There

No matter how prepared you are, the leap from university to the workforce can be challenging, and even a little daunting. Many RMIT alumni and graduates who have become industry leaders share their experiences and advice through the Alumni Mentoring Program. Mentors include News Corp Chief Executive, Robert Thomson; BHP Billiton Chair, Jacques Nasser; New York–based founder of The Fetch and CloudPeeps, Kate Kendall; former Edinburgh International Festival director, Sir Jonathan Mills AO; and self-made entrepreneurs including Georgia Beattie (pictured above), CEO of Beattie Wines, whose company was named a BRW Top 10 Start-Up.

ARE YOU READY TO SHAPE THE WORLD?

Industry-designed courses. Business partnerships. Teachers who are leaders in their field. Experiences that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. Industry and enterpr ise is at the heart of every RMIT program. You’ l l ga in sector-speci f ic ins ights, pract ica l exper ience and sk i l ls that wi l l g ive you an edge in a h ighly compet i t ive job market.

Global Pro jects That Make a Di fference

More than 1300 Fijian high school students celebrated the opening of a first-of-its-kind IT lab built by a team from RMIT. The landmark project enabled RMIT students to put their IT skills – including software and network fault finding, industry networking, software research and training – to the test in real life. The project has been so successful that the Fijian Government is considering replicating it in schools across the Pacific island nation.

Solut ions That Change the Future

RMIT’s research projects focus on global problems. Some of our research solutions even go a step beyond – a gravity-loading SkinSuit for astronauts (pictured above), which was invented by aerospace engineer Dr James Waldie while he was studying at RMIT, is being trialled by an astronaut inside the International Space Station. It goes to show that with the right skills and support, the possibilities are limitless.

Ideas That Impress Internat ional Brands

A team of RMIT marketing and international business students impressed one of the world’s top beauty brands by winning the 2015 national L’Oréal Brandstorm competition – the fourth RMIT win in as many years. Team Vie de Luxe (pictured above) went on to represent Australia at the international final in Paris, where they pitched their concept to L’Oréal CEO Jean-Paul Agon.

Industry Exper iences that Become a Design for L i fe

RMIT graduates have again been awarded the Australian Fashion Foundation’s prestigious global internships, which have propelled numerous RMIT fashion graduates to the top of their field. Most recently, the internships helped Alexander Kelvy (pictured above, right) and Grace Butterworth follow in the footsteps of RMIT’s previous winners, who are now living out their career dreams at Calvin Klein in New York and Alexander McQueen in London.Photo used with permission from AUSFF.

Make Your Mark on Melbourne, and on the Wor ld

Recent games and graphics programming graduate Cherie Davidson (pictured above), who attracted industry attention while studying at RMIT, has been named one of the 75 most influential women in the Australian and New Zealand games industries. Cherie undertook a four-month placement at award-winning UK game development studio Media Molecule as part of her degree, and they’ve since snapped her up as an associate producer. She plans to use the opportunity to gain insight into the international games industry, bring her skills back to our shores, and open her dream studio in Melbourne.

Maurice Wehbe sees the building and construction industry as a mix of practical and business skills. He’s found a program that develops all areas while building his passion for building the future.

“My program was designed to provide the skills the Building Practitioners Board looks for when issuing building licences. However, because it looks at the whole industry, you’d also be covered if you wanted go into project administration because you’d already be familiar with the documents and terminology used.

“Once I graduate I hope to work my way up to project manager. Eventually, I plan to start my own company and build peoples’ dream homes.”

Angeline Armstrong received a career development grant and was flown to the US for networking meetings and conference seminars.

“I was able to use one of my RMIT industry research papers as an ‘in’ to an interview with an executive at one of the biggest television networks in the US. As part of my final semester, I was required to develop a personal networking report that forced me to make cold calls and knock on doors – an experience that was incredibly rewarding, ultimately resulting in lasting mentorship relationships and ongoing dialogue with industry professionals, both here in Australia and in the US.”

The 2015 Professional Practice study tour to New York City gave 20 students from advertising, public relations and communication programs a rare opportunity to collaborate on real-life projects with US industry professionals and work in the offices of leading global advertising, design and social enterprises – including Sesame Workshop, the organisation behind Sesame Street.

The students stayed in Greenwich Village for 14 nights, with a full itinerary of agency work, daily tours, projects and experiencing everything the Big Apple has to offer.

“RMIT’s global mobility program is fantastic and New York is the ideal destination for ambitious and creative students searching for transformative professional growth and development,” said Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) student Clinton Elliott.

Alumni Prof i le

Giannis Thalassinos describes himself as curious and progressive. He is currently tackling an honours year after completing his double degree in nanotechnology and applied sciences at RMIT.

“Science is all about progression and I’m someone who doesn’t want to be at a standstill. I’m pleased to say we don’t just sit in class all day. The double degree has a lot of practical components that force us to take charge of what we’re doing – we’ve even had a behind-the-scenes tour of the Australian Synchrotron.”

STUDY AT UNIVERSITY IN YEAR 12

Student Prof i le

“When I was in Year 10, I had a friend in Year 12 who was doing higher ed studies at RMIT. I thought, ‘That’s pretty cool – being in school and studying a university course. I want to do that.’

“I’ve learned about Java and web programming. We learned the really technical stuff and theory plus put it into practice – developing a website’s front and back end. I’m much stronger in my programming now, and I’m developing my own website to strengthen everything I’ve learned.

“Most of our assignments involved group work and I met loads of other RMIT students. It was good to speak to them about what they liked, their other subjects, and to learn from them.

“My tutors are great too – always willing to help out and go above and beyond for us. And they were always throwing new and different content at us. They’re so enthusiastic about their subjects.

“RMIT is really strong in its technology foundations. Other universities don’t specialise as much. That’s one of the reasons I want to come here and do my computer science degree. Also, being placed with all the current degree students means I know what I’m getting myself into!”

Student Prof i le

“As a mature-age student aiming to complete my VCE, I wanted to learn in an environment where students were choosing to be there and where students could contribute a diverse range of perspectives and experiences to the program.

“The teachers and staff for the VCE program are very welcoming and committed. As a student with health issues, I found the staff to be extremely understanding, caring and accommodating, which allowed me to complete my VCE studies with the least amount of struggle and this was crucial to my academic success. I would highly recommend anyone who is wishing to go to university or vocational education, but is either unsure of which direction they want to go in or unable to directly get in to their chosen program, to complete their VCE at RMIT.”
