Partner with UTS students on community projects
The LGNSW Workforce Development team invites councils to partner with the Discipline of Psychology at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) connecting industry with emerging graduate talent.
Teams of third-year psychology students will independently work on council projects over 10 weeks and provide grounded, practical outputs at the end. UTS Psychology is seeking community-based projects (current or completed) for student teams to apply their skills and gain real-world experience.
There’s still time to get involved. Reach out before COB on Friday 26 June to secure your place.
