Career and employability development
We can help students plan and manage their own career, assist with course uncertainty, and help clarify their vision for the future through online resources and in-person drop-in sessions.
To prepare them for the real world, they can get assistance with job searching techniques, investigate career options and explore their employability through networking, resume writing and more.
During their course, students can complete for-credit work experience and access industry-specific events and programs, find part-time or casual work through QUT’s UniHub, and speak with trained students who are available for chats about university challenges and career opportunities.
