Earlywork Edition #2: Student Groups for Tech & Startups
Featuring roles from Meetric, ARC, HealthMatch + more
Hey gang!
We are back with Round 2 of Earlywork, a newsletter focused on shortlisting the best roles for students & recent graduates across tech & startups in Sydney.
If you’re not already part of the crew, subscribe now to keep a pulse on our latest stories and conversations:
Thank you folks for the positive reception and helpful suggestions after the first edition launched last week; buzzed to already have over 150 subscribers (cheeky reminder to share this with any job-hunting mates).
Thinking I’ll follow a weekly cadence, since it’s not uncommon for roles to close < 2 weeks after they open, and I wouldn’t want y’all to miss out.
Before we dip into this week’s intern & graduate role shortlists, let’s kick off with…
A Weekly Cheeky Tip:
Earlywork Student Tech & Startup Society List
Beyond staying on top of job listings, a great way for students to learn more about tech, startups and the relevant ecosystem in Sydney, is tapping into the content, events and other students within university groups and societies related to these topics.
For me personally, joining BusinessOne Consulting (a pro-bono student-run startup consultancy) in my first year of university had an outsized impact on my interest in startups, and helped me to build practical business skills and knowledge relevant to early-stage companies, awareness of potential career opportunities, and a community of peers with strong vision and ambition.
That’s why I’ve built a comprehensive list across UNSW, USYD, UTS, Macquarie, and WSU, as well as student-focused groups not affiliated with a particular university.
And hey, this might also come in handy for anyone looking to hire technology-focused students or partner/collaborate with student societies in this area.
Will keep working on fleshing this out; let me know if there’s any others I’ve missed.
