Real Projects, Real Impact
Our students don't just learn theory—they build actual businesses, solve real problems, and create genuine value. Here's what happens when entrepreneurial passion meets structured guidance.
Featured Student Work
Every semester, our students tackle real market challenges. They research, plan, build, and launch. Some projects become hobbies. Others turn into full-time ventures. All of them teach invaluable lessons.
EcoWrap Solutions
What started as Mikhalia's concern about plastic waste became a legitimate packaging business. She developed biodegradable food wraps using local agricultural waste, secured three restaurant clients, and now employs two part-time staff.
Student Journeys
Behind every successful project is a student who learned to navigate uncertainty, solve problems, and persist through challenges. These stories show what's possible when you combine ambition with the right support.

Zendara's family runs a small farm outside Ballarat. During our program, she noticed how much time her parents spent manually tracking soil conditions. Her solution? A simple sensor system that texts farmers when irrigation is needed.
