8 | Get Career Ready while you study                  Undergraduate Guide 2019

             ‘Career Ready hones in
             on your existing work
             experience, connecting the
             dots from what you’ve done
             to what employers are looking
             for. I really love the program
             because it’s genuine. The
             Career Ready team definitely
             care about whether we get
             jobs, and because of that
             I really felt that La Trobe
             was invested in me.

             I highly recommend
             Career Ready. It does make
             a difference and it will set
             you apart. If you’re feeling
             unprepared, or you don’t
             know what to do to land
             a job, it’s such a great program
             to tap into.’
