Internship lands Bachelor of Business student a job before graduation!
K.Hughton

When Keely Houghton first began her internship at YCL Jewels she was just hoping to get some experience in a marketing role. What she ended up with was credit towards her degree and a portfolio of experience that would help her land her first marketing job before she even graduated.

“I’ve been offered a marketing co-ordinator position at a place called PLB Group—a restaurant and entertainment group with four restaurants in northern NSW,” Keely says.

Keely is thrilled with the position because even though she doesn’t graduate until the end of 2019, the business was so impressed with her they offered her the option of being part time until she completes her qualification.

Congratulations Keely! Read more of Keely's story.

Scholarship will help student achieve postgraduate dreamR.Lock

Robyn Lock had been applying for scholarships throughout her Bachelor of Business with the philosophy of “you’ve got to be in it to win it”. But when she found out she was the successful recipient of Griffith Business School’s Strategic Advisory Board Scholarship, she says she was “completely blown away”.

“Even just getting to the interview stage was amazing so it was very exciting and a little overwhelming when I found out I won,” the Bachelor of Business student says. “It was so great to feel like someone was recognising me and my potential.”

Well done Robyn! For more information on Griffith Business School's scholarships, click here.
