Boost your employability and maximise your opportunities!
Employability is your X-factor! It is about more than just getting a job. It’s the ongoing development of the knowledge, skills, and attributes that will increase your career success, and the opportunities along the way, such as securing an internship or getting a casual job.
Employability stretches beyond your academic record. It requires truly knowing yourself—what you’re capable of, where you want to go in the future, and how you will get there.
The University of Adelaide’s Employability Programs are your chance to build the skills and experiences that will help you stand out with employers and successfully step into the ever-changing world of work.
