QUT Mentor Program

The QUT careers department offers a career mentor program which i have recently become a part of. The idea of the program is to connect you with people in your respective industry who than volunteer their time to offer assistance, guidance and help with any career orientated problems. This gives us students a real chance to get an insight knowledge of the profession in which we want to become a part of. 

I have been fortunate enough to be paired up with Phil from SKM, a civil engineer who is now working in management and has more or less lead the career i would one day like to have had. He is a really good guy and i feel privileged that he is giving up some of his time to help me out. Phil told me of his work and about what an average day of being a civil engineer involves. He has in all cases reinforced the amazing opportunities that can come about as a result of a career in civil engineering and I am excited about my future prospects.
