Calling PhDs – Industry Engagement Program 2019
‘PhD graduates, if provided with specialist training…have an enormous amount to offer industry…and therefore the nation’s economy.’ – Group of Eight (Go8) Universities Study, Australia (2017)
The PhD is a long and challenging journey. What will you be doing when it’s over?
Whether you are considering a post-PhD career in Academia, Industry or as an Entrepreneur you need to develop these skills!
Join our Industry Engagement Program and develop tomorrow’s essential and relevant skills.
Hone your creative craft, collaborate effectively and communicate confidently.
The program is presented by Dr Jon Hopwood of Social Agility and will run from the end of June to the end of July. There are very limited places so act now.

- Practice building and then pitching ideas in a supportive environment and gain feedback on your current practice and skills
- Build and improve these skills in three short, intensive experiential workshops
- Pitch again (this time for real) with feedback from senior executives and academics
- Collaborate across faculties to inform and improve your research
- High-value prizes for the best work
