ryan's Story
In today's competitive job market, it is imperative to stand out among a tough crowd. As a university
student, it is a difficult process to find your niche and develop your personal soft skills to launch your
career. During Ryan’s time at university, he had firsthand experience with the difficulties of securing employment after graduation.
In starting his own organization, Starlite, his mission is to provide a holistic experience for students to develop both soft skills and industry acumen to bridge the gap between tertiary study and full-time employment. When starting this business, a massive challenge was understanding what to actually do to make the greatest impact – an idealistic and ambitious 18-year-old would love to do everything.
A key piece of advice to give to any young entrepreneur would be this: in order to enjoy what you
do, you need to be passionate about it. Whether it’s starting a business, starting a job, undertaking
further study – you need to have the passion to do it. If your passion is there, you have all you need to succeed.
