Event 1- Starting your new life in Melbourne | Panel + networking

Date - 28.07.2022

Location - The Singapore Theatre, University of Melbourne

Timing - 5.30 pm - 7 pm 

One of the biggest concerns for new international students is how to start their new life in Melbourne in the best possible way. This includes 'finding your feet as an international student, getting your part-time/casual employment, and getting involved in the community.

In this event, we invite current international students and alumni who will share their real-life experiences: how they settled into their new life, how to apply for the first part-time/full-time/casual job, and everything else that helps you to start your student journey. 

This is a must-attend event for all new international students in Melbourne and Victoria, who are making their first steps. All questions are welcome from students for guest speakers, with networking activities after the panel discussion.

Getting your first job as an international student is a special moment to immerse yourself in new Australian life - but it's not always easy.

Event 4 - Network like a boss!

Date - 17.08.2022

Location - The Couch, Melbourne

Timing - 5.30 - 7 pm

Being an international student can be overwhelming at times. Juggling between uni assignments, part-time jobs, and social life leaves little time for networking in your desired field. 

In this event at the Couch, we will interview current and former international students to learn from their experiences and stories. The panel will discuss how networking helped them explore job opportunities in their field and how it benefited them in their professional and social lives.

Stay back after the panel discussion to ask more questions, connect with guest speakers, and network with fellow students and alumni.
