Career Ambassador Program
About the program
Our Career Ambassadors are the face of DeakinTALENT on campus, operating weekly pop-up stalls, representing us at events and contributing to our social media campaigns.
Becoming a Career Ambassador is an opportunity for you to help other students and has multiple benefits for your own professional development and student experience at Deakin.
Ambassadors also participate in an exclusive professional development program to develop teamwork, communication and leadership skills.
Eligibility
Our Career Ambassador Program is a paid, year-long opportunity for Deakin students. Our Career Ambassadors come from diverse study backgrounds, both domestic and international. Their unique perspectives enrich our programs, helping to inform and improve our services.
When you apply, you’ll be exposed to a professional recruitment process, which means you’ll have the opportunity to practise your job application and interview skills. You’ll also receive personalised, constructive feedback to enhance your future job applications.
We welcome applications from passionate students for our Career Ambassador Program at the end of each year. Induction and training commences in February, with rostered shifts beginning in T1.
