Health professionals fair success17 June 2009
More than 600 students attended the University's first Health Professionals Fair at the Peninsula campus last month. Hosted by Employment and Career Development, the event gave students an insight into graduate and "earn while you learn" opportunities in their discipline. Representatives from 26 organisations were in attendance to provide students with information about undergraduate and graduate career opportunities. The event was particularly suited to students in the areas of sport and outdoor recreation, health science, community emergency health and paramedic, nursing and midwifery, and occupational therapy. Peninsula careers education consultant Lisa Schilling said the campus bistro was a buzz of activity. "The feedback was hugely positive, with employers very enthusiastic about speaking to our talented students," Ms Schilling said. Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences manager Andrew Evans said the response was impressive, demonstrating the strong relationship between the faculties and industry partners. "The fair represented an important transitional stage between studying at Monash and entering the health profession," Mr Evans said. Employment and Career Development will be hosting several other careers fairs and expos in 2009. These include the Berwick campus Careers Expo, which will be held on 23 July and the Gippsland campus Careers Expo on 28 July.
