CAREERS CENTRAL WORKSHOPS

Careers Central offers a variety of workshops to help you prepare yourself for the challenges in obtaining a graduate position at the end of your degree. Generic workshops are open to all students across all disciplines and usually take place in our seminar room in our main offices in building 11. Our faculty based Career Consultants run workshops that are tailored to specific disciplines and years and these workshops take place in common teaching space across campus.

Workshops are scheduled six weeks in advance so you should check back regularly for updates.

For more information and to register your attendance, click on the relevant workshop title in the table below.

In addition to our suite of job seeking workshops, we also run workshops on professional development topics such as ‘Networking for Effect’ and  an ‘Introduction to LinkedIn’  as well as information sessions on vacation work opportunities, scholarship applications and much more.

Please visit your campus website for information and dates regarding careers services and workshops at the Sydney Business School and other UOW campuses including Batemans Bay, Bega, Southern Sydney, Southern Highlands and Shoalhaven.

We would also love to hear your ideas on workshop topics – just send us an email to careers@uow.edu.au and put ‘Careers Workshop – My Idea’ in the subject line.
