Careers Week will be held from 12-16 August with events for students at all stages of their study program and from all faculties.

The aim of Careers Week is to provide an opportunity for students to intensively engage with employers at a range of careers events. They will have the opportunity to find out about current internship and graduate opportunities and to research the types of roles and organisations available to them. Students will have the opportunity to hear from professionals providing advice on how they got started on their own career paths. Conducting research on career options by connecting with industry is an important part of career decision making.
