PLACEMENT PROGRAM SUCCESS STORIES

“It is absolutely amazing that I could apply what I have
learned in class and training to the real work.”
Kai Huang
University of Auckland
(Westpac NZ)
There is no doubt that the SAS work placement program
has taken me to the job I have passion for. In this program,
what you can gain is not only the experience in data
analytics and modelling, but also, more preciously, the way
to build your business thinking by working in the real
industry. The more value you can deliver to businesses by
thinking the data, the more valuable you will be.
