The “Earn While You Learn” (EWYL) Program is a Curtin University initiative that provides students with the chance to secure paid work that fits around their classes and study load, while gaining relevant work experience and employability skills and enhancing their resumes. As part of the program, the ACSES team has been lucky enough to secure the talent of three students who are working on projects within the Data Program and Communications teams. We wanted to take a chance to introduce them:
