CUSP Corporate University Skills Program

This initiative provides student training in key transferable skills to develop 'graduate readiness' as a preparation for their careers and lives in the community.

For example, final year Engineering students developed teamwork skills through two three hour workshops. The workshops were based on experiential activities and professional development as used in assessment and training by industry.

Students undertake a variety of skill development activities as used in the corporate training environment. For example, you will be given a range of challenges designed to develop communication, problem solving and other key skills for management and leadership.

The program will be a partnership between employers, academic staff from the appropriate academic units and the Careers and Employer Liaison Centre. Facilitators for the program will come from the Centre, academic staff and employers .

Further programs are being developed with key industry partners.
