Why join Career Advantage? 

This free program offers international students and recent graduates access to face-to-face employment skills workshops and experts in all aspects of employability. It covers everything from job search skills, resumes and cover letters to interview skills and Australian business culture. 

And, even better, it’s a micro-credentialed two-part program accredited by the Career Development Association of Australia (CDAA). You can earn a micro-credential for each part of the program. 

To give you every opportunity to join the program, we have flexible options to fit your schedule. Book the workshop dates from each block that work best for you so you can complete the full program.
