Build workplace skills

The skills required for the workforce are developed throughout your time at University. These skills come from your academic study, employment, placements, involvement in the community and life experiences.

This could be through some of the external programs and opportunities listed here or through the Graduate Skill Development Program - an intensive advanced program for Flinders students.

This program will give you the opportunity to explore personal characteristics, develop relevant workplace skills, build skills in analysis, enhance your written and oral communication, develop leadership skills and work with students from outside your discipline area.
