Navigating the Transition: From Campus to Career

Moving from study into professional practice can involve navigating different roles, disciplines and career pathways. This in-person event brings together students, graduates, educators and industry professionals to explore the transition from campus into careers across design, construction, BIM, digital engineering, data and the broader built environment. Through an opening pathways talk and panel discussion, attendees will hear perspectives from professionals with varied career experiences and explore the skills, decisions and opportunities that can shape early career development. The facilitated Q&A will provide an opportunity to learn from speakers' experiences and consider practical approaches to entering and progressing within the industry.

The programme concludes with networking, giving attendees an opportunity to connect with peers, mentors and industry professionals across Western Australia's built-environment community.
