At UOWD our focus is student employability, and our career development services play an important role in maintaining our high rates of graduate employment.
All students are encouraged to take advantage of our comprehensive range of opportunities for career guidance and employment brokerage from early in their higher education experience. This will allow you to choose the right career path for you, and to develop the competencies required to be job-ready as soon as you graduate.
Our qualified career advisers have an extensive network of employer links to connect you with work experience or internship opportunities while you study, and to help you transition to graduate positions when you’re ready to step into the world of work.
