Diverse Topics

Useful Resources

Resources are a curated selection of The University of Queensland’s, and other resources that are structured around the four stages of UQ Employability Framework – Awareness, Experience, Learning, and Transfer.

Engaging Activities

Activities offer diverse ways to learn across the program, providing opportunities for career planning, self-check on progress and assessment, engaging with peers in online discussion, and links to UQ events.

MCA is being offered to students as either:

An opt-in individual student request to a flexible guiding version of the site across their degree program;
A cohort experience (i.e. as part of a support service for a program);
A compulsory element of the Employability Award. The MCA will provide a structured pathway of learning resources and activities to access and work through, and also a structured assessment to complete. Employability Award students must submit all assessments to complete the MCA.
