Careers Service

The University of Wollongong Careers Service offers assistance to students in planning and preparing for their future careers. This assistance takes the form of access to individual Career Counselling, career resources, career development programs, workshops and assistance with finding employment.

Robyn Gleeson, a Careers Counsellor from the Wollongong campus visits the Bega Centre at least twice each Semester to provide careers counselling and workshops on graduate employment. Steve Brigham also provides careers counselling on a weekly basis. Some of the areas you might like to discuss with a Careers Counsellor could include career options, what to expect in your future job, subject choices, assistance with gaining work experience, access to resources and information, assistance in preparing your resume and applying for jobs. To make an appointment to see Steve you can contact him by phone 0438 365 526; by email sbrigham@uow.edu.au or by contacting the Centre Manager on 6494 7035.
