Curtin University Partnership
Curtin University Partnership
Thanks to a partnership with Curtin University, WANADA’s Sector Policy and Project Officer Matt Ryan participated in a panel discussion for third year Psychology students on Tuesday 11 October 2022.
Matt joined Adjunct Associate Professor Brian Bishop, Dr Peta Dzidic, Founder and CEO of the Inner Ninja Foundation Stefanie Caminiti, and Research Associate Ashleigh Pantaleo on the panel.
“Panellists unpacked the role that research plays in our careers or work and talked about how graduate attributes can be applied in different ways throughout the community,” says Matt.
Matt participated as part of WANADA’s Workforce Planning Project, which aims to ensure that graduates have the knowledge, skills and awareness to take on careers in the alcohol and other drug sector. As part of the project, WANADA is pleased to have formed a strategic partnership with Curtin University’s enAble Institute.
