Offer Holder Day
Docklands Campus
Offer Holder Day
Education is more than what you study [ā¦] itās the journey as well. I found my current job through the end of year show where students exhibit their work.
My friends canāt believe I do architecture, it wasnāt really in my communities ā itās growing into a much more diverse industry but thereās still work to be done.
