National Indigenous Business Summer School 2025
In January, 25 Indigenous high school students from around Australia attended the ABDC’s National Indigenous Business Summer School (NIBSS) in Melbourne.
The program is led by The University of Melbourne in collaboration with Swinburne, RMIT, La Trobe, Deakin and Monash universities. During the week, students were given a taste of university life, learned about pathways to business studies, worked on a real-life business case study and attended the Australian Open for Evonne Goolagong Cawley Day.
Meet the class of 2025 and hear their thoughts on the program in the following videos. We also have comments from Professor Paul Jensen who has been involved in NIBSS since it started in 2018.
