Job Ready taught me how to get into the workforce: how to face interviews and what to expect.

Grace completed the Job Ready program at the University of Melbourne

"I joined Job Ready in my final year of study. As most students are feeling in their final year, I was NOT at all ready to enter the workforce. The program has taught me how to face interviewers and what to expect during interviews. Thank God I managed to secure a position in a company and am now working as a food scientist."

Grace was an international student from Indonesia, studying Food Science through her Bachelor of Science. During the final year of her Bachelor, Grace felt that her studies left a gap in her knowledge of preparing for the workforce.

“University only taught me the theory on Food Science. It didn’t teach me how to get into the workforce.”

So Grace decided to enrol in Job Ready where she gained valuable skills in writing her CV and networking using LinkedIn. In 2020, Grace was delighted to be granted Permanent Residency and secure a job and she is now happily working as a Food Scientist.

“Job Ready really helped to complete the whole university experience.”
