Business South Bank (BSB) Ramps Up Student Initiatives

With the opening of two new student accommodation houses, Atira and UniLodge, in addition to existing educational institutions, the student population of the South Bank precinct has passed the 20,000 figure.

To engage with this growing demographic, BSB has just launched a suite of Student Advantage Cards, with 15 000 student cards currently in circulation.

If your organisation has student offers that you would like to promote through our Advantage Program, please email Jane Noble on jane@businesssouthbank.com.au.

An influx of students also means greater opportunities for companies to tap into the vast pool of intellectual and creative talent in the precinct by offering internships, mentoring or work experience.

Organisations wanting to work with students should check out BSB's Business-Student-Connect initiative. Click here for more information.
