Inaugural Illawarra Graduate Careers Fair

07-May-2002

The fair is open to all University of Wollongong students and the wider community. It is the first time a careers fair has been held for University students targeted specifically at local organisations. Twenty five organisations will participate.

Where: University Hall Foyer

Date and time: Wednesday 8 May, noon -2pm

Official opening/presentation: 1pm -- including a short presentation from the Department of State and Regional Development about Illawarra regional career opportunities and trends.

The fair is an initiative by students of the UOW Golden Key International Honour Society. Golden Key members are within the top 15 per cent of their degree program. The society aims to foster greater links between the University of Wollongong, its students, local business and wider community. The fair aims to redress the perception from UOW students that the Illawarra region does not offer or cannot accommodate worthwhile career opportunities via local businesses and organisations.

An updated list of participants can be viewed on the UOW Careers Services website: http://www.uow.edu.au/careers/assistance/IllGrad.html
