Find talent
The Network can help you or your organisation find the right talent. Perhaps you are looking for a student intern to assist with a short-term project or problem through our Corporate Internship Program? Or perhaps you are looking to hire a student or recent graduate? Maybe you need to verify if an applicant or staff member does in fact have a UTAS qualification. Or you’d like expert advice from one of our talented academic team. The Network can connect you with the right people to help you achieve your objectives.
How can we help? Get in touch at business.network@utas.edu.au. For student and graduate recruitment please contact Penny Stringer at Leap.Connect@utas.edu.au or 0409 803 582, or go to Career Connect to register and post a job.
