We need to prepare you for jobs
and careers in a world where:
✓ Having a university degree
doesn’t guarantee a
graduate job
✓ What you study doesn’t
define/limit the graduate
job role or career you build
✓ The graduate recruitment
market operates more like
an experienced hire
market
✓ The market and jobs are
evolving at an increasing
pace.
Rethinking employment know your skill set
