Hasitha Samaratunga
Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of
Information Technology
QUT’s Career Mentor Scheme gave me insight into
the IT industry, a better understanding of what my
employment options are, and how to approach them with
confidence. I met with the QUT career counsellor to talk
about my professional interests and was matched with
Mr Nev Schefe, a Program Director in the Queensland
Government. We met once a week over a semester
and talked about all the different specialisations within
the industry and how I can identify my strengths in a
particular area. One of the most important things
I gained was a clear picture of what employers are
looking for. I am now even more motivated in my
academic work because I know what to focus on to give
myself the edge in my career.
QUT can help build your expertise
through work experience, internships
and our Career Mentor Scheme, the
largest of all Australian universities.
Linking with a mentor can prepare you for your career,
increase your employment opportunities and help you
develop a professional network.
Students who return home during the vacation period
can also take advantage of the International Work
Placement Scheme (IWPS) which runs throughout
the university summer vacation, from mid November
to mid February each year. Gain work experience with
major international companies to get a head start
in your career.
