Turn Uni Projects into Paychecks

You already have more experience than you think - you just haven’t packaged it yet. In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop we’ll show you how to:

● Build real-world experience through side projects (even if you’re “just a student”).

● Show your talent with a portfolio that recruiters can’t ignore.

● Grow a professional network that opens doors long before graduation.

You’ll see how NextCoin, a new student project marketplace supported by UNSW Founders, stitches these three strategies together, matching your skills with verified, paid projects and automatically creating a portfolio.

Who is this for?

● UNSW students from any faculty

● Early-career creatives, developers, marketers & strategists

● Introverts and extroverts who want actionable networking tactics

● Anyone curious about freelance work, startups or building a standout CV

What you’ll learn

✅ Spot the hidden skills in your assignments and hobbies

✅ Turn every project into a relationship that counts

✅ Use NextCoin to find paid work that accelerates it all

You’ll leave with a three-step action plan you can execute this week, plus access to our Slack community for continued support.
