Leading to Work Program
Preparing graduates for the dynamically changing job market
With employers continuing to express the need for closer links between industry and higher education, JCU Brisbane introduced the
Leading to Work Program. This Program is offered exclusively to JCU Brisbane Bachelor of Business students, with a key focus on developing
professional skills for employability within their field of study.
In class, students will have the opportunity to work as part of a team on industry projects and work with corporate leaders. Students also
participate in industry visits and other professional business tours. Professional internships are a key component of the Leading to Work
Program. This valuable opportunity sees top performing students gain hands-on training in an Australian business. Students will work as a
member of the team and will be given the opportunity to develop professional skills by undertaking set tasks allocated by the employer.
To prepare and equip our students to be employer-preferred, work-ready graduates, JCU Brisbane encourages students to engage with
industry professionals throughout their studies.
“JCU Brisbane is a smaller campus but it is
very useful for you to find a job. Especially as
it is leading the way in employer satisfaction,
according to a national survey.
I recommend studying in Australia, especially
JCU Brisbane as it’s been an amazing
experience for my life. Through my classes, I
have been able to go on fieldtrips to places
like Dreamworld at the Gold Coast and see
firsthand the practical elements of the theory
I had learnt in class.”
Jingfei Wu “I love what I am studying so much, it’s completely new and exciting
China for me. The professors here are so knowledgeable, and always ready
BACHELOR OF BUSINESS (HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT) to help you if you have any questions. Their teaching methods are
very different to that in Mongolia and I am really enjoying it so much.
I would recommend JCU Brisbane because of the amazing professors
and also because class sizes are intimate, which gives you plenty of
interaction and engagement with the teaching staff. This is something
I haven't experienced at other universities and a reason why I believe
JCU Brisbane will help me suceed.”
