A little bit of extra know-how can be a big advantage in today’s job market. That’s why UTS College is introducing CareerSmart. It’s a six-week program consisting of five practical one-hour workshops. You’ll learn important skills like:
- how to write a CV and cover-letter that get noticed
- how to write for selection criteria
- how to answer tricky interview questions
- how to handle a face-to-face interview with confidence

You’ll also chat with a Student Success Adviser so you can identify goals and explore your career options and study pathway.
Get ready to shine
The CareerSmart program includes a range of online career and job resources in Canvas, with the option of a one-on-one mentoring and career counselling session with a Student Success Adviser. Even before you begin, we’ll get you ready to shine with pre-workshop activities. That way, you’ll have an advantage from the start.
CareerSmart will be available to all students from Week 1 of Semester 2 (you can register on canvas courses once you’ve enrolled). This follows a successful pilot program during Semester 1 involving student leaders. Here’s what some of them had to say:

“This kind of knowledge is important for current diploma students and those going forward to their bachelor's degree. I would definitely recommend it to my friends. In fact, I’ve already started recommending it.” (Khushi)

“It was absolutely fantastic. I would rate it ten out of ten because the instructors were so knowledgeable and supportive. Their advice was really practical and insightful. The thing I like most about the program is its hands-on approach. Instead of just talking about theoretical concepts, we apply things to real life scenarios. That makes everything more effective, and more enjoyable as well.” (Yang)
