What events do we run?

 

Careers Workshops

In order to better prepare students for life and a career beyond university, the externals portfolio run careers nights with guest speakers from a range of fields, to give students insight into the process of entering different scientific pathways. Each event focuses on a specific career path, with a guest speaker from their area of study, to give students insight into that career pathway, and better prepare them for a future in the STEM workforce.

Networking Evenings

Our yearly Networking evening gives students the opportunity to hear from and talk to a range of industry professionals, and begin to build relationships that will help lead to future career prospects. The event connects UWA students with representatives from a range of companies and industries to diversify their future job prospects and professional network.
