Nathan Piahana

Service Management Centre Process and Documentation Specialist, Downer EDI Ltd Bachelor of Computing Systems graduate Certificate in Information Technology graduate “In my current role I get to work across all areas of the service management centre – interacting with customer service representatives and reporting analysts, and exploring how they use the systems they use so I can document future training material for new employees. I’m always dealing with managers, and am constantly learning new things. My work has instant recognition across the company and is directly aligned with the company goals. This is my first job and after being a student for so long it’s nice to be earning money for my hard work. In my final year of the Bachelor of Computing Systems I was doing work experience for Downer and I got my current job right after I graduated, thanks to the success of the project I completed for Downer. The work experience was a great way to put what I learned at Unitec into practice in a real company. ”

”I’m finding my degree very relevant to my job now.”

7 Jerry Li

Testing Analyst, Yellow Pages Group™ Bachelor of Computing Systems graduate “I love computing, and I liked that Unitec’s Bachelor of Computing Systems was practical, not just covering the theory. My final-year project was a testing project for the Yellow Pages Group™ – and at the end I got an A- for the project and the sponsoring organisation offered me a job. Now testing is my career. I believe the final-year project changed my life – without this real-life project I don’t think I could have found such a good job straight away after studying. The final-year project and the Unitec project coordinator helped me find what I like and discover my potential. I’m finding my degree very relevant to my job now, and I really enjoy the challenges in my work. I want to continue my adventure in software testing – there is so much to learn! My next goals are to pass the ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) test and invent more automated testing suites for my project.”

Kai Leung (Antonio) Yip Master of Computing student

“I’ve always wanted to further my knowledge of computer and information technology, and I’m finding the Master of Computing well-planned and practical. It’s closely linked to the industry, with projects that are highly adaptable to the real world. The study environment is great – I really like the big, green Mt Albert campus. And the people are very friendly, both the academics and my fellow students. As part of my masters degree I’m planning to do some research in the fields of computing I’m most interested in, such as artificial intelligence or data mining.”
