UK Business Strategy and Student Manager @ Strategy lead in the United Kingdom for Austern International, an award winning travel program that brings together driven and ambitious students (aged 18 to 26) from around the world to receive a powerful three weeks immersive career program in Asia Pacific. I joined Austern, because like the founders, I realised that many graduates struggle to apply and transfer the skills they have developed from the classroom into the workforce. At Austern, we aim to close this gap between students and employers; this is a place where students are given the opportunity to help companies solve real-world problems. Examples include tackling innovation challenges related to delivering services in different markets, developing wireframes to optimise operations, producing prototypes for new products and present their ideas to companies at formal meetings. Within a year, Austern as expanded to five locations in Australia, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, having sent over 160 students on our programs.
