eXia has been working closely with Youth Connections, Gosford to provide local students with exciting and informative work experience in our office.
So far we’ve had 10 highly motivated students from across the Central Coast come to work with us for a week. During this week they gain a better understanding of the working environment, the Web and IT industry as well as general computer maintenance skills.
In contrast to the prevailing idea of work experience in larger companies (getting coffee, lunch runs and doing housekeeping) eXia aims to put students to work doing tasks that are both learning experiences for them and essential jobs for us. We make sure we throw in a bit of fun each day, but in this way we feel that local students working with us are given a proper experience of the workplace and are better prepared for their futures in the IT industry.
