Turn Uni Projects into Paychecks
Build, Show, Grow - Turn your skills into a verified portfolio, paid projects and a powerful network while studying at uni.
You already have more experience than you think - you just haven’t packaged it yet. In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop we’ll show you how to:
● Build real-world experience through side projects (even if you’re “just a student”).
● Show your talent with a portfolio that recruiters can’t ignore.
● Grow a professional network that opens doors long before graduation.
You’ll see how NextCoin, a new student project marketplace supported by UNSW Founders, stitches these three strategies together, matching your skills with verified, paid projects and automatically creating a portfolio.
Who is this for?
● UNSW students from any faculty
● Early-career creatives, developers, marketers & strategists
● Introverts and extroverts who want actionable networking tactics
● Anyone curious about freelance work, startups or building a standout CV
What you’ll learn
✅ Spot the hidden skills in your assignments and hobbies
✅ Turn every project into a relationship that counts
✅ Use NextCoin to find paid work that accelerates it all
You’ll leave with a three-step action plan you can execute this week, plus access to our Slack community for continued support.
