This session will examine the three good practice guides – aimed at students, institutions

and employers – that have been commissioned especially for this symposium. The authors

of each guide will provide an insight into current policies, highlight good practice and offer

practical suggestions to enhance employability. Followed by Q&A.

The purpose of the student guide was to provide international students with practical, accessible

information on how to enhance their employability and improve their post-study employment

opportunities in either Australia, their home country, or elsewhere.

This guide provides advice to international students for identifying their career goals and acquiring employability skills in the first, second and final years of study in Australia. It also provides guidance to students after graduating and emphasises the importance of managing expectations, knowing their rights and the benefits of lifelong learning.
