Students’ solutions to issue of men’s health
21 Feb 2008 | Renee Criddle
Univative Illawarra, now in its fifth year, is a flagship program offered by UOW’s Careers Service which links teams of students with local employers to solve a workplace issue confronting an organisation.
This year’s Univative Illawarra (Summer) has been conducted with teams being given this great opportunity from Australian Health Management. Australian Health Management is Australia’s eighth largest private health insurer and has been caring for the health of Australians for 36 years.
They are a not-for-profit organisation, local to Wollongong and a leader in health management and disease prevention programs.
Each team worked on a task related to how we can best engage a male population in the area of men’s health and preventative health behaviours.
Organisers said the students gained wide-ranging and valuable skills while showcasing their talents to a recognised graduate employer in the Illawarra.
