Success Coaching: career advice from day one
Every new student is allocated a Success Coach, who stays with you for the duration of your study. Your Coach understands your course, your industry and your profession, and is there to give you expert advice on securing the right job.
Your Success Coach will:
- Track your career goals and milestones
- Get you job-fit, making sure you have the right documents (resume, cover letter) and online profile (LinkedIn, Careers Connect) to land you the job
- Connect you with the right people, within the uni and within your industry
- Identify your strengths using the Gallup StrengthsQuest Survey
- Keep you on track with the right subjects each study period
- Help you find the right placement, and land the right job
Each Success Coach is a qualified professional, handpicked from the relevant industry, designed to give you the edge on success in your chosen career.
