-We prepare students for the real-world by teaching them:
-- communication is 90% of the work - even in tech,
-- organisation skills are extremely important,
-- asking questions is a key factor in how fast you learn,
-- how understanding the domain problem and the users is more important than technical skills, and [how to work on a complex, ambiguous project](complex-projects),
-- showing them [how to become as independent as possible](faq#you-ask-us-to-be-as-independent-as-possible-how-can-we-do-that), 
-- show them [how to document and share knowledge](email-week-two) to others in a professional manner,
-- [explain how a software maturity model can help clarify expectations](software_maturity_model), and 
-- teaching them how to work productively in a remote environment.

-We even tell students how to try to avoid [the top 5 mistakes that students make](top-5-mistakes).

-In our [Welcome Session, we talk about ways you can better learn real world skills](https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28503338).

-We have won a WEHI award - the Kellaway Excellence Education Award in 2024 - for being innovative and putting interns first. This is why we have:
-- daily standups twice a day except for Friday (only once on Fridays),
-- individual learning plans to help you plan your learning needs to fit your goals,
-- technical diaries to share your technical work with your team mates, and
-- the ability to test and improve your continuous improvement skills

 ## Types of projects
 
 Many of the projects work in the Data Analysis and [Research Software Engineering](https://rse-aunz.github.io/) space using High Performance Compute (HPC). We work across diverse projects such as imaging, cryo-EM, genomics, transcriptomics, clinical informatics, and capacity planning.
 
 We mainly work with projects that use R and Shiny, Python, Julia, bash, while also making the most out of other technologies such as RStudio, Jupyter notebooks, PowerBI and other applications within the data analytics space.

-## Open source contributors
-
-Sometimes, we are in contact with students who cannot get course credit and are extremely keen to volunteer as an open source software contributor. In these situations, we have to be careful we do not act in an exploitative way. This is why [we have written our expectations of potential open source contributors to make the expectations more transparent](/expectations_open_source_contributors).
