Job Opportunity Potential
Job Search/Job Interview Skills Workshops are scheduled frequently to assist those seeking part-time employment. On completion of a workshop, the Student Experience Coordinator can assist students to complete their resume and provide guidance regarding job sources. In addition to our in-house volunteering opportunities, students can venture out into the broader community to enhance their real Adelaide experience by contributing to the community and a range of non-profit organizations through regularly scheduled activities or events volunteering in the breaks.
Additional benefits of volunteering include greater exposure to Australian workplace culture, local experiences and a chance to contribute and further discover and develop their interests and skills.
