"Maximising Your Career" Short Course Information
The Australian Technology Network's Learning Maximising Your Career (ATN-MYC) project is a collaborative venture across the five universities that form the ATN (Curtin University of Technology, Queensland University of Technology, RMIT University, the University of South Australia and the University of Technology, Sydney).
The universities in this network share a heritage of working with industry and use that knowledge to provide postgraduate research students with the opportunity to increase their awareness of key issues that increase their employability.
The "Maximising Your Career" Short Course, like the ATN-LEAP Program, provides the opportunity to expand your cohort of research colleagues and is dedicated to meeting the needs of research students and aims to help participants prepare for their career and empower them with skills and knowledge.
