Employability is not just about employment, its about the ability
to perform effectively, contribute to society, and communicate your value proposition to others.
How it works
Whether you are seeking part-time or full-time work, a work placement while completing your studies, or are looking to secure a graduate position, the UQ + Successful Graduate Programs have been carefully tailored to help you to improve your employability.
We will show you how to unlock the value in your experiences and articulate this to future colleagues, founders, and employers.
Guiding you to develop capabilities that contribute to your employability.
We want UQ students to develop their employability through experiential learning and reflection, articulation of their value proposition, and transfer of their capabilities to new contexts.
Online training that works
Individual training accounts provide self-paced employability skills development.
Become competitive
Did you know that there is only 1 job for every 22 graduates in Australia? Learn how to beat your competition in the job market.
Employability skills
We will teach you how to identify your personality type, core values and soft skills, enabling you to properly market yourself to an employer.
Do what you love
By learning more about yourself, you will also identify the types of jobs and employers that you are more likely to enjoy.
The future world of work is evolving, and successfully navigating your career in changing environments requires an agile, critical, creative, and entrepreneurial mindset.
Employability is not just about finding a job after graduation, it’s about developing your value proposition: the capabilities, attributes, and ways of thinking that empower you to make a positive contribution to work and society across your entire working life.
Right from the start of your UQ experience you will be able to develop your employability. Through UQ’s experiential learning approach to employability development, we will encourage you to engage in and reflect on a wide range of experiences – both inside and outside the classroom. We’ll assist you to identify and define your own version of success, explore a range of potential career options, and empower you to effectively demonstrate your value to employers, or generate your own opportunities.
