Are you a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) wanting to solve a digital tech challenge but finding it difficult to allocate time and resources?

Introducing SummerTech LIVE SummerTech LIVE is a popular program aimed at increasing the digital capability and competitiveness of Victorian small businesses and building the job-ready skills of tech graduates. The program matches digital tech tertiary students and recent graduates with Victorian SMEs to solve digital challenges and deliver impact. Students receive $5,000 for a 10-12 week studentship over the summer break, and the program comes at no cost to businesses.

A Mutually Beneficial Experience Students get the opportunity to apply their skills in a real-world setting, gaining an invaluable opportunity to kickstart their careers. All that businesses need to provide is in-kind support—a project, on-the-job mentorship and a work-ready environment.

Project Spotlight:

Channel Seven meteorologist Jane Bunn is no stranger to the world of weather forecasts. But with rapid advancements in technology, she is always on the lookout for better ways to provide more accurate weather data to farmers and the agriculture industry.

Enter Jane’s Weather – a weather platform providing customised and granular weather forecasts to help Australian farmers manage their resources and boost their output.

With her business’s strong focus on advanced technology, Jane jumped at the opportunity to participate in the SummerTech LIVE program, where she was paired with ICT students, Devender Kumar from RMIT and Zhi Hern Tom from the University of Melbourne.
