Employers invited to attend 2013 Graduate Careers Fair

The fair is an effective way for employers to recruit graduates. Over 2500 students attended in 2012 and over 130 organisations participated from a large cross-section of industries including engineering, accounting, law and insurance companies, investment banks, management consultancies as well as local, state and federal government departments.

Industry liaison from the University’s Careers & Employment Fiona Simpson says employers are eager to meet local and international graduates with the aim of filling graduate positions.

“Students can ask questions and get a feel for particular firms before applying for graduate positions,” she says, “and employers can discuss graduate employment opportunities and present their organisation as an employer of choice to 2013’s leading graduates.”

Employers in attendance offer structured graduate employment programs and other full-time employment opportunities for final year students to commence the following year.

Students from all disciplines who are due to complete their studies in 2013 will be attending, including Agriculture, Arts, Biomedicine, Commerce, Environments, Fine Arts, Music, Oral Health, Science, Environmental Horticulture, General Studies and Graduate Studies.

Registration is open for 2012 employers interested in operating a display booth or attending to represent their organisation.
