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.

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.
