Even before she finishes her Bachelor of Marketing and Public Relations degree, Holly has lined up a full-time role in the industry of her choice.

The final year Business student at The University of Notre Dame Australia's Sydney Campus says on-the-job experience – embedded in the University's Marketing and Public Relations degree – has provided her with strong industry connections, and has led her straight into a job once she graduates.

"I've been able to develop strong industry connections which have led me straight into a job," Holly says.

The former NSW Central Coast St Joseph's College student says she wanted to become a marketing professional with the ability to work across a multitude of niches in the industry.

"Working in an agency right now is providing me the opportunity to try my skills in a range of roles and responsibilities to see what I enjoy the most,” she says. “But the goal is initially to be seen as a value-add to any agency that I work in or role that I assume."
