Using career support services at uni



Education is a significant and step in your career journey. It brings opportunities to learn — not only about your chosen discipline, but also about navigating your career. Career Support Practitioners can help you with:
 

  • online resources 

  • advice on internships 

  • help towards finding Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities 

  • volunteering.  

These are all part of the educational experience.  

Career support at university 

Most universities have small teams of Career Support Practitioners, who work with students individually or in groups.   

The large numbers of students at university can mean that career counselling sessions might be difficult to access. You will need to seek them out and book appointment times. 

Online career information at university 

Explore your university’s careers page for online information about: 

  • job opportunities 

  • preparing a resume 

  • building your network 

  • employability skills, such as communication, time management, and planning.  

Internships, Work Integrated Learning and volunteering  

Many study programs include opportunity to work in the industry you are studying. Internships, Work Integrated Learning, and volunteering experiences are excellent ways build your technical and employability skills, and to grow your professional network.
