The QUT Careers and Employment service is utilised by students and graduates, employers and industry, and faculty staff.
The team endeavours to assist students with their career development and employment preparation, and offers a large range of services and resources in these areas. Career development and counselling are informed by the latest research, current employment trends, opportunities and contacts.
Employers and industry comprise a large part of Careers and Employment's activities. A comprehensive range of services are offered with the goal of providing employers assistance with graduate and undergraduate recruitment and connections with QUT students. Employers are encouraged to raise their company profiles with students and have the opportunity to recruit from QUT's study body. |
