Ready to Lead Program

The Ready to Lead Program equips students with practical skills, confidence and professional insight to support success at university and beyond. Delivered throughout the academic year, the program complements academic study by focusing on career readiness, leadership development and personal growth.

Through a series of interactive workshops and seminars, students explore topics such as building a personal brand, establishing a professional presence on LinkedIn, developing a strong résumé, refining interview skills, and strengthening leadership and communication capabilities. The program supports students at every stage of their degree as they prepare for future careers.

Women's Industry Night

Women’s Industry Night (WIN) is an annual networking and career-building event that connects students with industry professionals, employers and alumnae. Designed as a mini-exhibition, the event provides students with direct access to organisations offering graduate and vacationer roles, internships, work experience and professional pathways.

Students are encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations, explore career options, challenge assumptions and gain real-world insight into the workplace. For many, Women’s Industry Night is a pivotal step in building professional networks and identifying future opportunities. The event also features a program of Round Table Discussions with alumnae representing various industries.
