CoNX Launch

Industry in Action

Delivered a flagship four-day immersive experience connecting students with leading industry partners, including Westpac and Atlassian. The Bootcamp combined structured career development workshops with real-world industry engagement across tech, finance, and corporate sectors.

Participants strengthened their professional confidence, developed application and interview skills, and gained firsthand insight into workplace environments and employer expectations. The program also provided valuable networking opportunities with industry professionals and recent graduates. 

The experience concluded with attendance at The Big Meet, where students applied their skills by engaging directly with a wide range of graduate employers, bridging the gap between study and professional life.
