GRADUATION - SO WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

EMPLOYMENT

Each year approximately 60% of graduates move into full-time employment after graduation. A significant number of these opportunities are open to any subject discipline. Recruitment takes place all the year round but some companies advertise at the start of semester one and vacancies may have a closing date before Christmas.
