On Thursday evening AUT’s CoLab hosted four speakers discussing – in hard and soft terms – what businesses seek from graduates looking to get their start in the Creative Industries. Rainraker’s Pete Rive, Sidhe’s Mario Wynand, Flux Animation’s Brent Chambers and Weta Digital’s Jake Lee gave their opinions, but dodged the one hard question asked.
The evening, the first of six CoLab will present this year under the umbrella Envisage, drew an audience of 50+, over half of whom were AUT students keen to find out about what opportunities might await.
