Industry Career Panel Sessions

Melbourne School of Engineering is pleased to present an exciting program of career panel sessions in 2012.

Students will have the opportunity to learn about careers, recruitment and internships from a diverse range of industry representatives — from HR, to recent graduate engineers and IT professionals, to executives. The panels are divided into engineering and IT disciplines, as well as panels on Alternative Employment Sectors for Engineering and IT, Women in Engineering and IT, and International Students Careers Panel.

Come along and have some of the big names in engineering and IT answer your career questions!

These panels will replace the company profile sessions run in previous years.
