"One of my friends suggested WITT and its Graduate Diploma in Project Management. I searched for it on the internet and found it was the perfect combination of what I was looking for as it included subjects like supply chain and operations management”.

Pratik gained employment after his course at Eltham based Carac Group, where he also completed his intensive project internship.
