Dear NBN Co, please hire this kid

The media release below tells the tale of how Ayden and senior IT consultant Peter Read has wired up the centre’s entire headquarters with a new Internet connection, “similar to the National Broadband Network”.

The traineeship

The traineeship was made possible by a grant from the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations to allow the centre to establish a high-speed internet connection. "Our DEEWR Project is said to be one of the most innovative and cutting-edge in the country because it feeds all the businesses in the centre," Mr Arnold said.

The NQSBDC currently has 22 work spaces and seven offices that are occupied by businesses either in their initial start-up stage or that have outgrown their home-based status. The centre acts as a business incubator supporting new businesses and helping them grow in a dynamic environment.

The Business Enterprise Centre

Mr Read said the Business Enterprise Centre was now capable of supplying all tenants with high end IT processes, equipment and procedures. "We offer a super high-speed internet connection, domain names and email, data backup, voice-over internet protocol and optional computer rental," Mr Read said.

The new IT system is as well saving businesses in the centre money. "We were able to charge one rate for use of the services, which left a big enough margin for us to make a profit and use the funds to employ Ayden as a trainee and Peter as the part-time coordinator," Mr Arnold said. Businesses can save money by using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and being connected to the centre's network printer.
