The plan aims to ensure equal access to opportunities, employment and decision-making bodies within the faculty. Business and Economics is the first faculty to have produced such a document, which was developed by a committee of 10 academic and general representatives over the past year. For further information, contact the committee chair, Associate Professor Paul Latimer, on extn 31444. Graduates are being offered the opportunity of working in research and development as part of AusIndustry's Start Graduate program. An initiative of the Federal Department of Industry, Science and Resources, the program offers Australian businesses grants for research and development projects that use graduate students.
Projects vary according to the industry involved, but all focus on innovation.
Ergonomic students who recently participated in the program, for example, were employed by a manufacturer to design ergonomic office furniture.
