Thanks to Deakin Business School’s ‘Interns in Industry’ program, Emerson Automation Solutions has ticked the box on several projects that have been outstanding for too long.
Sue Logan, Emerson’s Human Resources Director, jumped at the chance to take four interns from Deakin University’s Faculty of Business and Law when the partnership program initiative expanded from Whitehorse Council to also include the Knox municipality.

A partnership initiative first promoted by the economic development team at Whitehorse Council, 2019 was the first year that Knox businesses have participated in the program.
