A starting point to meet our TD thinkers and become an industry partner.

Short engagements are typically within ‘schools’ – intensive, block-mode subjects running for approximately two to three weeks. Whether you’re interested in hearing undergraduate students’ innovative insights or sharing your expertise first-hand, there are a variety of engagement types including:

  • presenting a brief on a relevant organisational challenge which students respond to proposing solutions
  • sharing industry trends and insights on a panel with other professionals
  • running a workshop on a methodology, concept or area of interest, or
  • mentoring students individually or as a team.

Regardless of the type of engagement, you will be supported by the Subject Coordinator and Industry Partnerships team along the way.

Benefits for partners

Since these engagements are an in-kind contribution, TD School ensures a mutual learning experience for industry partners, offering opportunities for:

  • learning new methodologies and creative practices
  • providing your staff with a rewarding mentoring experience, developing their skills
  • access to a talent pool of some of UTS’s brightest students, our TD thinkers
  • exposure to students’ out-of-the-box thinking and insights
  • being part of award-winning UTS subjects and degrees.
