SSP MESSAGE | This Student-Staff Partnership team needs your help to improve the International Student experience:

We are a group of UQ international students and UQ staff seeking your opinion on career development opportunities available to you at our University. Without student feedback, we are unable to influence service delivery to better align current opportunities with your expectations. As international students, we understand the potential challenges you may face in your career preparation both locally and internationally. The SSP Project “Career Development Strategies for International Students” was set up to develop career development strategies and help international students to build employability while providing better ways for them to be connected. The results of the survey will be used in our co-developed report to highlight areas where the career development strategy of UQ catered to international students could improve.

We appreciate your opinion, so please do let us know what you feel by clicking on this link https://studenthub.uq.edu.au/form.aspx?id=3654688 .

As a thank you for completing this survey on or before the 3rd of November you will be rewarded with the opportunity to book in for a one on one consult with one of the BEL careers team. Additionally, by completing this survey you would be doing a great contribution to the international student community as a vast number of students will be benefitted when rolling out the strategies designed through your input.

Thank you and if you are overseas we hope to see you soon on campus!!!!! 🥳
