Other ways to raise your profile
Employers can raise their organisation’s profile with students in a number of ways. You can become a financial sponsor or provide your professional expertise by presenting a seminar or industry case study, writing an article for our email bulletin and volunteering as a mentor.
In addition, you can provide project work to assist students to develop their work competencies (see Student Work Placements) or offer a prize or scholarship via the Melbourne Scholarships Office
