FEATURED PROJECT

The Workforce Accommodation Network (The WAN)

Application of knowledge and skills in problem solving also led to the founding a platform-based tech start-up, focussed on addressing the lack of available, affordable accommodation for the seasonal and contract workforce. Evolving a Master’s research project into an online marketplace, and successfully proving the concept in market are key achievements.

The Workforce Accommodation Network (The WAN) was designed as a community-focused online accommodation marketplace that works with businesses to connect their seasonal, temporary and/or short-term contract workers (the flexible workforce) with safe, secure and affordable accommodation options that are right for them, for the time they choose to live & work in our communities.
