Sheridan is dedicated to fostering real-world experiences for students as a crucial component of their education, encouraging hands-on learning alongside academic studies. Felipe Dorta Da Silva, a first-year Accounting student, embodies this approach as he embarks on his internship journey with Primarius Financial Solutions.
Initially, Felipe felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension about the internship, as he was new to the world of accounting and unsure of what to expect. However, his fears were quickly put to rest once he began. Under the guidance of his patient and supportive mentors, Felipe was able to dive into his assignments with enthusiasm. The supportive learning environment at Primarius allowed him to gain confidence and develop his skills at a comfortable pace. He enjoys his internship so much that he often finds himself staying late to continue working, which speaks volumes about his dedication and passion for learning.
Throughout the internship, Felipe has developed a wide range of technical and professional skills. His assignments have introduced him to crucial accounting practices, such as preparing commercial tax returns and using the Xero accounting software, both of which are vital tools in the industry. Beyond technical know-how, Felipe has gained essential workplace skills such as time management, communication, and teamwork, all of which are invaluable for his future career in accounting.
Felipe’s journey to this point is especially remarkable. As a mature student, he brings a unique perspective and motivation to succeed. Before moving to Australia, he was a practising pharmacist in Brazil, where he built a strong foundation of work ethic and professionalism. Upon arriving in Australia just two years ago with limited English proficiency, Felipe worked hard to overcome language barriers, eventually becoming fluent enough to pursue his studies and secure an internship in Accounting. His story is a testament to the power of determination, adaptability, and the opportunities available through Sheridan's focus on real-world experience.
