I engaged with BEL Careers and Employability right from the beginning of my studies at UQ. Talking to Careers Advisors gave me a real head start on my career planning. I also met with employers and learned about career pathways in various industries by attending many careers events. I really encourage students to make the most of the available support and resources.
