Adelaide Advantage Project

adelaide advantageThe Adelaide Advantage is a new program at the University of Adelaide for students enrolled in Business, Economics Law and Architecture who are looking for unique opportunities to enhance and enrich their time at University.

Through the program, students participate in extracurricular activities to enhance their employability and self-development, and gain valuable experience outside the classroom. They receive recognition for these activities from the Executive Dean when they complete the program, and they also have access to a new Career Readiness Course which was developed in consultation with the University's industry partners.

Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities

Opportunities for student participation can be very flexible and the University likes to work with industry contacts to formulate projects, events, and other activities – to build resources and exposure for their organisation, and also to provide real-world experiences for students.

 

Some examples include:

  • Networking opportunities with industry (morning teas, meet the CEO events, attending workshop/workplace training sessions, assisting during events ...)
  • Getting to know fellow students (mentoring, morning teas, study tours, trips...)
  • Developing professional skills during workshops, trainings, mentoring sessions
  • Competitions
  • Becoming involved in the community through activities such as volunteering for charities (SCOSA, Cancer Council, Heart Kids, Leukaemia Foundation...)
  • Work experience opportunites

What are the benefits for industry partners?

  • Direct access to a unique group of students who have indicated a desire to go 'above and beyond', and are designating time outside the classroom to build their leadership, team building, and communication skills; ready to enter the workplace fully equipped.
  • Introducing future graduates to your business
  • Contributing to the professional development of future graduates
  • Developing links with the University of Adelaide
  • Providing your employees with mentoring and leadership opportunities whilst helping support our future leaders
  • Benefitting from an extra pair of hands

A valuable program for our business and the student, The University of Adelaide have been impressive in their support, setting up the program, with continued support provided over the length of the program."
