Focus area 3: Careers advice and employability

By embedding a framework to help students understand and enhance their employability throughout their studies and working life, increasing access to careers and course advice earlier in the student journey, and simplifying program architecture, UQ will connect the student experience with opportunities that align to their career aspirations. Taking a holistic approach to experiential learning across curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular spaces, UQ will increase access for all students to work-integrated learning, global experiences, and entrepreneurial opportunities.
