Kickstart Your Career
Your Future Starts Today
Work with us, to work with you, to lay the foundations of your career.
Your Course, Your Path to Employment
Choosing to study at university is a big decision; some people know what career they want when they choose their course, others figure it out as they work their way through their studies. You may be seeking employment and financial independence as the outcome of your time at university, or you may be looking to change the world. Or better still, both.
Employability is not just about getting you any job, it’s about supporting you to develop the skills that will help you stand out in a competitive employment market, to be your best self and to create the career you seek.
A Place Where Everyone Can Succeed
ECU is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all our students. The power of diversity and inclusion is recognised by industry as a major issue in the globalised and networked ‘world of work’. By studying at ECU you have access to a broad range of supports that not only develop and focus your talents, but also support you, your experiences and circumstances.
Our students can define their own vision for success. See real student stories
Organisations from WA, Australia and across the world are knocking on ECU’s door, seeking to access talented students like yourself. Work Integrated Learning, internships and graduate employment programs are just some of the opportunities you can expect to experience during your time with ECU.
We work with industry partners to create authentic, innovative and practical experiences to put what you’ve learned into action.
What Do I Need to Do
Two things. Engage and communicate. Engage with academic staff about careers in your chosen field, speak with ECU’s careers team and the support services that work closely with them. ECU staff can help you translate your curriculum expertise into employability skills while also helping to demystify all those employability buzz words you will encounter during the course of your studies.
Services That Are Tailored to Meet Student Needs
We recognise that study can be challenging. We have a range of services, resources and information that is available to support you, regardless of your background, levels of experience and aspirations for your future. We are here to help you, and your first stop is with the careers team.
And don’t forget the other services we make available to you depending on your specific needs.
