Testimonials

"The Adelaide Graduate Award was a fantastic experience. It not only really improved my awareness of the employability skills I developed throughout the program, but also the employability skills I already possessed. I cannot recommend it highly enough!"

Ellysia

"The Adelaide Graduate Award is a great opportunity for students to learn about employability skills before they graduate. The Award encouraged me to take extra-curricular activities and reflect on professional growth after doing the activities. I learned planning, organising, teamwork, and communication skills during my extra-curricular activities. I believe these skills will be beneficial for my future career. The whole experience of doing the Award has been memorable for me. I am really glad I joined this Award."

Johanes

"Participating in the Adelaide Graduate Award is the best way to get recognition of your extra-curricular experiences. The Award is not only an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your extra-curricular activities to future employers, but also an effective means of reflecting on your achievements alongside studies. It has prepared me for professional life and I highly recommend future students take part in this program."

Sonia

"The best aspect of the Adelaide Graduate Award was the in-depth reflection that you are required to do as part of the program. It serves as a great way to not only recall and articulate what you have done while undertaking the co-curricular activity but to actively understand how much personal growth I have experienced during my University experience, enabling me to chart out my journey and identify key experiences that have shaped who I am today."

Arthur

"The Adelaide Graduate Award came at a time when I was desperately searching for something that would make all the experiences I had, during my university years, count. Even though they were on my resume, I was looking for something more than that. I wanted to show that all my extra-curricular activities and experience had a lot more meaning to it. I would recommend all students be a part of the Adelaide Graduate Award; it is one way to get a lot more out of your university life than just a degree. I know a lot of students who barely have any relevant experiences and the Award is one of the significant ways to motivate you to do something about it. The best part about this Award is that there is no right or wrong; everything you do is very important, be it volunteering at Comic Con or a Vacationers at EY."

"The Adelaide Graduate Award provided a great pathway for me to receive recognition for the extra-curricular volunteer activities and work experience that I completed throughout my undergraduate degree.

Jane

"Participating in the Adelaide Graduate Award program helped me immensely to unveil my potential as a future valuable and enthusiastic employee. Also, it provides me with the tools to expand, flex and grow my employability prospects and goals after I leave university and that having a disability is no obstacle or barrier when getting into the workplace."

Jarad

"The Adelaide Graduate Award allowed me to develop both professionally and personally, and develop skills like communication, teamwork and time management in a practical setting, which I will continue to draw on throughout my career. Through the activities I completed as part of the program, I am more equipped for a graduate role and have a better idea of what career path I am passionate about and wish to pursue."

Megan

"The Adelaide Graduate Award is not only a great way to showcase your extra-curricular involvement to your employers, it's also a great way of reflecting on your achievements during your time at university. I would highly recommend it, as it is a great addition to your CV and would greatly increase your employability."

Qi-Zheng

"Most students have a perception that university is all about gaining academic knowledge, but it is essential to embrace other opportunities that help you gain skills that simply cannot be taught in classrooms. The Adelaide Graduate Award helped me recognise and translate my extra-curricular experiences into critical employability skills. It has not only helped me prepare for my professional life, but has also made me confident for life outside of my career."

Sanjam

"The Adelaide Graduate Award helped me to seek further understanding of my self learning experiences from work experience and volunteering, so it helped me to increase my confidence level."
