How could the Deakin Talent DISC Program help me as an international student?
The Deakin Talent DISC Program helps international students explore employment options in Australia. It builds your understanding of the local job market and workplace culture, so you can apply practical job search strategies confidently, whether you plan to work in Australia after graduation or pursue opportunities internationally instead.
The Deakin Talent DISC Program is built to help you, as an international student, explore your employment options once you finish your degree. It focuses on practical understanding rather than theory, so you walk away better prepared for the job hunt. Here is what the program actually covers.
What the DISC Program Covers
| Focus Area | What You Gain |
|---|---|
| Employment options | Guidance to explore roles suited to your profile |
| Australian employment market | Understanding of how hiring works locally |
| Workplace culture | Insight into expectations on an Australian team |
| Job search strategy | Skills you can apply in Australia or abroad |
How This Fits Into Deakin's Broader Career Support
This program sits alongside other career resources at Deakin, such as Work Integrated Learning and internships coordinated through DeakinTALENT, giving you multiple touchpoints for building job readiness well before graduation. Students who engage early with these resources tend to enter the job market with a clearer sense of direction.
My Advice
Sign up for the DISC program as early as you can in your course rather than waiting until your final semester, since workplace culture and job search habits take time to build. Pair it with an internship or work placement to turn what you learn into real experience on your resume.
