17 October 2024, Mayfair Lane: The UWA Industry Engagement Team hosted the End of Year Event to celebrate another successful year of mentoring and partnership with our industry contacts. This event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders including:

  • 2024 Career Mentor Link mentors and mentees.
  • 2024 MBA Mentors and Mentees.
  • 2024 Work Integrated Learning (WIL) hosts and select WIL students.
  • UWA student volunteers who supported major events this year.
  • Industry partners from the Careers Fairs, Job Fairs, industry pop-ups, and other events.
  • UWA staff instrumental in delivering our 2024’s events.

This year’s decision to bring together all industry programs and partners was to:

  • Strengthen the visibility and impact of UWA’s various programs.
  • Provide a networking platform for smaller programs, such as MBA mentoring.
  • Recognise mentors, hosts, and partners across programs, showcasing their contributions to those outside of their program.
  • Introduce the 2025 Industry Packages, showcasing opportunities for industry to collaborate with UWA in the coming years.

Feedback from the event was overwhelmingly positive. MBA students expressed their gratitude for being included in a larger event, as it provided opportunities for high-level networking. Industry partners were excited to learn more about UWA’s mentoring programs and internship offerings, and with over 320 students already registering their interest in the 2025 mentoring program, the need for additional support and collaboration is clear.

The Industry Package document, created by Mary Portez, received praise for its clear and comprehensive presentation of the many ways industry can engage with UWA. 

This event marked a significant milestone for the Industry Engagement Team, showcasing the scale and depth of connections achieved in 2024. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, we not only strengthened existing relationships but also highlighted the value of our programs.
