An innovative online directory has been launched by RMIT University, providing a platform for its alumni business owners to showcase their products and services to a vast global audience of over 500,000 individuals. This directory offers a free listing on the university’s official website, facilitating connections between alumni businesses and the broader international community associated with RMIT.
Among the notable businesses already leveraging this platform are July, the official luggage partner of the Australian Olympic team, and RIPE Cheese, the sole Australian cheese business globally. These businesses, along with more than 300 others, have recognized the value of reaching out to a diverse audience through the RMIT Alumni Business Directory.
For Hakim Halim, the founder of RIPE Cheese and an RMIT graduate, this directory has been a game-changer. Halim, who graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Business (Marketing), seized the opportunity to promote his cheese business to a global audience, tapping into RMIT’s extensive international network.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the Alumni Business Directory, Halim emphasized the importance of connecting with a community that shares similar experiences. He highlighted how this platform has enabled him to introduce RIPE Cheese to the broader RMIT community, expanding his reach to a global scale.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Design and Social Context, Professor Tim Marshall, underscored the significance of the Alumni Business Directory as part of RMIT’s efforts to foster a sense of community among its alumni. This initiative aligns with various other programs aimed at strengthening connections within the alumni network, such as regional chapters, mentorship programs, and social media engagement.
Professor Marshall emphasized that the directory offers alumni a unique opportunity to showcase their businesses, products, and services to a global audience, free of charge. The diversity of ventures represented in the directory, spanning sectors like health services, food, design, and fashion, underscores the success and innovation of RMIT’s talented alumni.
As an alumni business owner interested in joining this growing platform, individuals can complete a simple form to be listed in the directory. The RMIT Alumni Business Directory not only provides a space for alumni to promote their businesses but also facilitates networking and collaboration among alumni across different industries and regions.
The launch of this online directory signifies RMIT’s commitment to supporting and promoting its alumni businesses on a global scale, offering a valuable avenue for alumni to connect, engage, and showcase their entrepreneurial endeavors to a diverse and extensive audience.
