Whether you would like to continue further with official studies, launch your own business or land the job you have been dreaming of, QUT offers a variety of support options to help you achieve your goals.
Entrepreneurship support

Career fairs
Each year we partner with The Big Meet, a free one-day careers fair held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Brisbane.
The event is targeted at undergraduates and recent graduates from all universities in South-East Queensland. It is held nationally and is organised by the Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE).

Career and employability development
We provide the support necessary to help you as you begin and develop your career. This includes a range of services from résumé creation to guidance on how to launch a business.
Resources
Developing your employability is a lifelong adventure.
Employ your ability is a series of free online modules that will teach you how to self-manage your career, construct a professional identity, build relationships, and employ mindsets to adapt and innovate in a changing workforce.
For help with applying for a job or getting started in your career, QUT's trained career advisors can give you feedback on your résumé, selection criteria, cover letter and/or LinkedIn profile. This service is available to QUT graduates within 6 months of graduating.

Build upon your employability skills through online workshops or one-on-one consultations with a career educator. Appointments with career educators are available to QUT graduates within 6 months of graduating.
