Enigma Interactive - Working with the Community

Enigma Interactive is dedicated to building strong partnerships within the education community. Enigma Interactive has partnered with two of the major tertiary education facilities in Brisbane, The Queensland University of Technology, and Griffith University. For over 10 years we have encouraged and contributed to the strong ties between commerce and education.

Today's students are the future of our industry. These individuals will be responsible for driving technology forward, making it more accessible, and improving our lives in the process. Enigma Interactive is a company that constantly strives for innovation. Development of close relationships with the institutions and the individuals themselves is critical to our ability to plan for the development challenges ahead of us.

We greatly value our association with the higher learning institutions and plan to continue to collaborate and contribute into the future. We are constantly looking for new ways to work together and share in the excitement that is the technology industry. We strive to foster and support newcomers to the industry in any way we can.

In addition to our close ties with higher learning, we are dedicated to assisting primary and secondary schools who want to support students interested in the software development industry.

QUT Executive Education Program

Enigma Interactive is an active participant in the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Faculty of Information Technology‘s Executive Guest Lecture program.

Griffith University‘s BIT@Work

Griffith University and The School of Information and Communication Technology offer an innovative new program called BIT@Work. The program is designed to allow students to work full time within the industry while they complete their formal education.

Enigma Interactive is a proactive supporter of workplace experience. We strongly believe learning is accelerated when tied to real outcomes. Commercial placements allow students to focus on developing skills while being part of an experienced team. This is why we believe the BIT@Work program is so successful. It puts a major focus on industry development which naturally drives individual skill development.

We commend Griffith University for their innovativeness and foresight with this degree option. We believe that this mode of tertiary training is an excellent fit for the IT industry and we would encourage other institutions to follow suit. Everyone wins – the university, the student and the employer.

If you are a current Griffith University student who is eligible for the BIT@Work program and you are interested in a placement with Enigma Interactive, please click on the ‘Register Now’ button below and complete the registration form.

Griffith University’s Multimedia Industry Placement

Enigma Interactive works together with Griffith University for their Multimedia Industry Placement (MIP) program. This is very much a team effort between Enigma Interactive, the student and the University. Each has a part to play in the successful operation of each placement. It is the primary responsibility of the student to manage the various relationships to ensure success of their individual placement.

This placement program is an excellent way for students to get real work experience and helps to prepare them for a career in the IT industry.

Primary and Secondary School Support Program

Today's youth have grown up with technology as a central part of their life. Enigma Interactive understands the value of providing mentorship and support to the younger generation interested in the IT industry. We realise that significant gaps may exist between students wanting to understand more and the availability of resources and knowledge to foster this growth. While core subjects like Mathematics and English are well supported, Information Technology is still a relatively new discipline and as such may not have the same level of support.

Enigma Interactive makes resources available to both Primary and Secondary schools within the Brisbane area to provide support where possible. Our assistance can include:

Guest speaking
Education information services
Specialised topic training
Assistance with in-school workshops

Generally speaking, we will help where possible. As a general rule we do not provide direct financial assistance to schools or provide work experience placements. In some extraordinary circumstances we may entertain well supported cases.

If you believe we could support your school to support students interested in Information Technology, then we want to hear from you. Please click on the ‘Register now’ button below and complete the registration form.
