Confidence in Action - Empower Leadership Program

Confidence in Action
Empower Leadership Program · Event 2

Last time, we talked about finding confidence in the Australian workplace. Now it’s time to put it into action.

Join us for an evening of real stories, honest insight from the hiring side, and hands-on practice, made for international students and graduates.

What to expect

🎤 Student spotlights: Hear from two students or recent graduates who landed roles in Australia within 6 to 12 months of finishing their studies. They’ll share how they did it, what got in their way, and what you can try yourself.

💬 Hiring manager panel: Hear from hiring professionals about how they look at CVs, interviews and international students, and what really makes a candidate stand out. Bring your questions.

🤝 Practice speed interviews: Practise your pitch in a short, friendly session with industry professionals and get live feedback. Then try again in our Practice Corner.

🍽️ Food, drinks and networking: Connect with other students and graduates throughout the evening. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options will be available.

You’ll leave with

• Real ideas you can use in your own job search

• A clearer view of what hiring managers look for

• A sharper pitch and personal feedback to work on

• One clear next step
