Employer Information Sessions

Publicise your organisation by holding an information session on campus. Students who attend are highly motivated, and the session provides an excellent opportunity to network with these students while providing detailed information about your company. Your presence on campus is advertised on the Careers Centre website, and through targeted posters and flyers.

We can additionally organise events after hours in one of the University’s many unique function spaces. For these evening information sessions we will coordinate venue hire, catering, and wait staff while providing an enhanced strategic marketing service.

Benefits

An employer information session on campus:

  • provides detailed information about your organisation directly to students
  • generates interest in upcoming recruitment activities
  • provides you with the opportunity to meet highly motivated students
  • increases your organisation’s profile on campus.

Availability

The Careers Centre only holds employer information sessions at set times throughout the semester. Past experience has demonstrated that presentations outside these times are not effective.

We offer information sessions from Monday to Thursday. We avoid holding information sessions on Fridays, as there tend to be less students on campus. Information sessions will not be run on the same day as a careers fair.

Daytime information sessions run between 12 and 1pm, or 1 and 2pm, and choice of venue is available. New for 2012 we will be offering two hour daytime Information Sessions for organisations requiring additional time for networking between 1 and 3pm. Evening information sessions run from 5.30pm and are held in function space. Catering is only offered for evening presentations.

Employer information sessions Semester 1, 2012
Tuesday 6 March – Thursday 29 March

Employer information sessions Semester 2, 2012
Tuesday 31 July – Thursday 16 August

  • advertise on our jobs database, free of charge
  • send a targeted email-out to the students you want to meet, reminding them about your information session
  • book in for a careers fair – attendance at a careers fair and information session is a great combination for meeting engaged students and raising your profile across campus.
