CQUniversity Melbourne has congratulated its first cohort of students to complete the Australian Computer Society Professional Year Program...

This program was introduced on the campus last year.

Our State Director Victoria Darryl Stewart presented the successful students with ACS graduation certificates, during a ceremony organised by the Society.

Highlights from the presentations

Mr Stewart said it was amazing to witness the professionalism, growth and self confidence that the students have acquired by studying the program over the last 12 months.

"Students valued the program highly and attributed their professional development to the study of the Australian Work Culture, Professional Business Communication, and Professionalism in ICT modules and in particular to the 12-week internship in a professional organisation," Mr Stewart said.

Prior to the main graduation ceremony, a luncheon was arranged on campus to give the graduating class an opportunity to celebrate the occasion with staff.

Student representative Mandeep Singh gave a very heartfelt speech, both at the ACS function and on the campus, praising ACS for designing and running such an effective program.

He shared his peers' optimism to carry forward the acquired knowledge and experience to their future workplaces. Mandeep also thanked the campus and the teachers for contributing to their success.

Mr Stewart thanked the students for choosing CQUniversity and asked them to refer the program and University to their friends.
