Hi! I’m Chloe and I am the National Marketing and Events Intern at the ACS Foundation for 2024. I started my internship in early April of 2024 and have had an extremely busy, yet exciting 4 months. I have helped plan 8 BiG Day In events and have been travelling the country to help host them.
So far, I have helped with BiG Day In events in Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Parramatta, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. I have also had the opportunity to meet and learn from the incredible speakers that attend the events, such as industry representatives from Adobe, Microsoft, Google, and more. What I love most about this internship is being able to make the event memorable and inspiring for the students. It is rewarding to see them leave the theatre having had a fun day, with smiles on their faces, and stronger interests in the IT industry.
I have been very busy – juggling this internship, my university coursework, and another job – however I have loved every minute and I am learning and experiencing lots of valuable skills for marketing and event management! I feel that, even only 4 months in, I have already learned so much, but I am excited for what the remaining 8 months of my internship holds for me!
The ACS Foundation has 2 exciting BiG Day In events coming up during the month of August. BiG Day In on the Gold Coast is on the 15th of August at Griffith University and will feature speakers from Playside Studios, Gameloft, and Westpac (just to name a few!). We also have BiG Day In Canberra coming up on the 27th of August at Australian National University and will feature speakers from Westpac, IBM, and Defence Force Recruiting, and more! We’ve sold out both events and we are looking forward to seeing the teachers and students at the BiG Day In!
