On campus or online employer presentations are a powerful way to promote your brand to current students and provide relevant information about your organisation, projects and opportunities.

Our employer presentations are free and are promoted to students through a range of advertising channels. During peak periods (March-April) a lead time of one month or more may be required.

We also seek industry partners to host events for school students, including ‘Meet an Engineer’ sessions and site visits. Build profile and visibility for your profession as well as your organisation, to build a talent pipeline into the future.

Mentors from all disciplines, industries, locations and experience levels can help support and shape the next generation of professionals as they prepare for their careers.

Mentor our students

Promote your organisation to dedicated STEM student communities by connecting with our student clubs.

Our faculty is home to a range of clubs that are united by study area, passions, or a shared cause. By partnering with these clubs, you can engage with targeted groups around important topics, attend networking events, identify future employees and give back to your industry.
