Quotes from Transfutures participants

'While studying my Business degree in 2019, I applied for a Transfutures internship through QUT to explore my specific interests in purchasing, procurement, and supply chain management. The internship led to ongoing employment and today I am still in the industry working with Vision International Logistics. I’m drawn to the pace and dynamic nature of the transport and logistics industry, and the way it connects directly to how things move in the real world.'

- Lee Shou Xian, Intern, Brisbane
