Hi, my name is Dylan Coyne. I'm a UTS Alumni and founder of updoc.

I am an alumni at the UTS BIT Co-op program and it was one of the most pivotable experiences of my life. I saw on those placements sponsors were able to get a lot of value out of the students.

I really learnt a lot through that program. I wasn't seen just as an intern or as a student, but as a functioning member of the team. It's given me great skills and experience whilst working on classes, learning about how technology can be applied in the real world, and then into founding updoc it allowed me to have the confidence and experience to want to branch out and start my own thing.

I think it's really important to have these partnerships as what it does is it allows students to have hands-on practical experience and that will allow them to be a more well-rounded person and have a more successful life and career.
