Weāve caught up with some of our incredible Fellows to see what theyāre up to now.

Magda Kortas was a Data Scientist in Poland before moving to Sydney to become a Data Scientist at Cloud infrastructure company, Kablamo.
In 2022 I received a Global Talent Visa (fast-tracked Permanent Residency programme, in just 3 months!) and I was about to move from Europe to Australia and took part in a fellowship remotely from Poland to make my move easier, learn about Australian culture, build a network and finally find a job in Australia. I was happy to receive a scholarship which made my participation much easier (apart from crazy time zone differences).
Quite intensive but very helpful. I feel that networking is much more important here in Australia than it was back home, and it was an amazing opportunity to build a network for someone without any connections, coming to Australia for the first time.
Knowledge about Australian startup culture, job seeking and of course, all the people I met and talked to on the way.
Yes, and I did! My fiancƩ is currently doing Launch Club. And I keep recommending Women Fellowship to all women thinking about pivoting to a new industry.
Directly and indirectly thanks to the fellowship, I was able to secure two job offers before coming to Australia. I landed in February for the first time in Australia and started my job in just two weeks. Here in Sydney, I am building AI solutions to assist emergency services in preventing and responding to bushfires. Itās meaningful work and since I am passionate about AI for Good and climate change counteraction, I couldnāt imagine a better industry to work for. Itās already 8 months since I got to Australia and I love it here.
