Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
Last week I attended the University of Technology, Sydney Careers Advisors day. UTS has been on the rise over the last few years, particularly with our Emanuel students. In the six years I have been at Emanuel I have noticed increasing numbers each year interested in and attending UTS which can now boast:
- 5 star ranking in employability
- 45,000 students enrolled in 2018
- 200,000+ graduates in 136 various countries worldwide
- 82% of students undertaking internships (with a goal for 100%)
- ranking as the 3rd University in Australia
- 150+ undergraduate degrees offered.

Professor Attila Brungs – Vice Chancellor
UTS prides itself on working closely with industry. Students are in uncertain times, where the notion of careers, jobs and education are changing rapidly. Preparing people for this uncertain future can be challenging. The important human skills are becoming more important:
- Enterprise skills
- Problem solving
- Communication
- Digital literacy
- Resilience – so critical with a rapidly changing joboutlook
- An investment in lifetime learning
o This has become a core at UTS in their next 10-year strategic plan
o The notion of ages 0 to 100 learning (rather than simply age 18-22 years for the undergraduate years).
