The UNSW Employability team supports the development of self-aware, career-ready graduates, who are professional, global citizens with the skills to build and navigate a successful career, now and into the future. We do this through fostering engagement with lifelong learning, career education, employer engagement and individual support to develop flexible, resilient graduates ready to manage the employment challenges of the 21st century.

From the student’s perspective, career development and employability includes:

  • an awareness of their values and career aspirations
  • an understanding of employer expectations
  • the ability to identify and create career opportunities
  • the continuous development of employability skills
  • the ability to adapt and be resilient to the changing nature of work
