Throughout your career
In this rapidly changing world of work, it's vital to engage in ongoing professional development.
Ways in which you can develop your professional skills throughout your career:
- Complete single units of study or faculty-specific professional development and short courses.
- Join the professional association attached to your industry. Many hold professional development events and conferences where latest trends and best practice are shared. Some also produce publications to help keep members' knowledge current.
- Attend short courses or complete postgraduate studies in line with your career goals.
- The University of Sydney Alumni Network offers a great way to meet other graduates working in various industries both locally and internationally.
- Find yourself a mentor. A mentor can provide key information about specific industries, roles, relevant skills sought by employers, application processes and career pathways.
We continually seek opportunities for our students and graduates to enter the workforce. You can find out more about events and opportunities for employers here.
