You’ve built a career — just not here.
Now you’re navigating a new country, a new system, and trying to make your experience count.
This session is for migrant professionals entering or re-entering the Australian workforce. We’ll explore how to translate your overseas experience, overcome barriers, and tell a career story that resonates in a new context.
