Working with employers

The Industry Connect Mentoring Program allows students to connect with industry professionals to help them prepare for their transition from university into professional employment. This program aims to enhance each student’s knowledge, understanding and professional networks, and provides mentors with the opportunity to meet, grow, and learn from upcoming talent in the industry.

The Career Mentoring Program is open to all study disciplines and programs. Students are able to connect with a mentor through a one-off meeting or for an ongoing connection. For ongoing connections, students will receive fortnightly guidance from UniSQ until the end of the round. Please refer to the key dates table below.

UniSQ’s industry experience programs provide many benefits to both students and organisations alike. Our UniSQ Career Education Team manage the formalities of student placement within your organisation and our contract of insurance indemnifies the student and the Industry Experience provider against liability for personal injury or property damage suffered by the student, the Industry Experience provider or another person arising out of the work experience. 

The Industry Experience Program

The Industry Experience Program assists students to develop employability skills and an understanding of the expectations within the role they are studying towards. This practical learning-based program allows an organisation to host a student for unpaid industry experience for up to 30 days over a designated period of time. It’s a great way to support emerging professionals and find like-minded, motivated and driven students. 

Work Integrated Learning Program

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is a compulsory component of a student’s course in selected disciplines. It provides a wide range of learning experiences undertaken by students to better prepare them for future employment. The work placement component allows students to work with a dedicated professional who can coach, mentor and supervise this important aspect of the student learning journey.
