Careers in Focus events

A range of informal career events are held throughout the year that include graduate panels and networking.

Throughout the year Careers and Employment liaises with academic faculties/departments and the business community to promote discipline/industry-specific events. These events are open to all currently enrolled students.

Students can browse and book into a Careers in Focus event on CareerHub.

Information, not recruitment, is the key purpose of these informal events. Presenters participate on the understanding that they will speak about their personal career path and experiences, answer questions and network with students.

For any assistance or queries, please contact us.

Student feedback

"I love to hear alumni sharing their experience with us, how they landed their current job, how they pursued their career path, how they feel about their job. It's always good to hear from previous fellow students who studied at the same university, faculty with you."

"Enjoyed the event, it has really helped me in my future decision making"

"Interesting to learn about the steep learning curve that graduates have initially had."

"Talking to past graduates clarified for me what I needed to do in terms of my degree to get the type of job that I wanted."

"I really enjoyed the event! It is always nice to hear that we are not doing a useless degree! The speakers were really friendly and honest."
