Let think outside of box so we feel more confident leaving university!!

Students who make the most of their course tend to have a few things in common, they gain good education but give less time looking for participation with career oriented programs offered by your education provider. Students are busy and loaded with lot of course work, assignments and struggle to allocate time from their very busy schedule

There are few university run facilities may help you to boost your employment prospects while your study ongoing.

Career development programs and employment services

Make yourself available to attend / participate career oriented programs organized by your university. Below are the list of few major programs offered by universities at different intervals.

  1. Student industry programs
  2. Industrial seminars or webinars
  3. Industry events and hands on workshop
  4. Career fair
  5. Research centre
  6. Industry associations

These resources can help when applying for casual employment or graduate roles, internships, volunteering, preparing for interviews, creating a LinkedIn profile and so on. Few universities offers career services for graduates for a year after graduation this may include being a research assistant for an academic or tutoring a student.
