La Trobe Careers presentations and Career Options panels
Are you looking to promote any current or future job opportunities to graduates?
In March 2021, La Trobe University is running a series of virtual 45- minute Careers Showcase employer sessions for employers to share their opportunities with students and recent graduates.
We’ve found what worked well from last year’s employer sessions is when you have employees share their experiences at your organisation as well as any tips presenters can share with students to enhance their employability.
The Careers Showcase employer presentations run from the following dates:
- 10th – 11th March [Various times available for 45 minute employer presentation sessions – will be targeted to employer’s choice of student cohort]
- 15th – 18th March [Various times available for 45 minute employer presentation sessions – will be targeted to employer’s choice of student cohort]
Similarly, we also have our highly regarded Career Options panel sessions throughout the year. Each panel is an interactive Q&A session facilitated by an MC. The panel is usually made up 4- 6 representatives – being either employers (government, private, SME), a professional association and an industry recruiter. Panels are to inform students on the variety of pathways and career options available to them within their discipline/sector and to hear from industry representatives who share their own career journey, insights, and opportunities.

Recent Mentor Feedback
The mentoring program is a great way of keeping current. It is exciting dealing with young recruits, that exhibit high energy and enthusiasm. It is a real opportunity to give back, whilst simultaneously learning from your mentee. A very rewarding experience – Tony, Mentor 2019
