Information for Student Societies
Careers & Employment (C&E) holds the key responsibility within the Parkville campus of The University of Melbourne for liaising with employers to coordinate and / or organise their recruitment campaigns on campus and off-shore. This includes providing advice on the appropriate disciplines for their employment sector, devising marketing plans and developing effective strategies such as mailouts/emails, careers fairs, information sessions, industry events, on-campus interviews, barbecues/networking sessions and career workshops/presentations.
We seek your cooperation in ensuring that the following guidelines are followed for the benefit of all key stakeholders.
Planning and scheduling of events
Student Societies who are organising any career or employment related event are required to check the events listed in Careers Online to ensure their events or activities do not interfere with the academic timetable, and do not clash with or negatively impact upon the scheduling of other similar events / activities.
It is also important to allow adequate lead-up time to market events / activities, provide employers with an opportunity to prepare their presentation and enable students to juggle their commitments so they can attend.
Critical times when clashes occur
Lunchtime and after hours (particularly 5:00pm - 7:00pm) employer information sessions and events need to be closely coordinated through C&E. This is where clashes are most likely to occur and where it is critical that appropriate scheduling is in place. Employers can then be assured of maximum attendance and students will have the opportunity to learn about opportunities from various employers of interest.
Assistance with organising events
C&E can advise on how best to organise career and employment related events/activities including the most appropriate theatre bookings, equipment requirements, compliance issues and parking arrangements.
Careers & Employment contact person
Student societies should advise C&E’s Industry Engagement Consultant, Ms Katie Bell (Ph: 03 9035 8870) of the proposed timing of their career and employment related events / activities. She can then list them on the Careers Online events calendar.
Please contact C&E as soon as possible, in case re-scheduling is required.
