(Careers) Address

During this Autumn semester, the UTS LSS Careers team aimed to deliver high-quality initiatives that would equip UTS Law students with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities to empower themselves and strive for greatness in their career development. Our goal was to strengthen our current initiatives that students find valuable and introduce new ones where there is a gap

Linkedin Photoshoot

The Careers Team introduced the first-ever UTS LSS LinkedIn Photoshoot This event was a fantastic way to empower students to take charge of their professional development, providing them with the opportunity to receive their first professional headshot or an updated one that they can use on their LinkedIn, resumes, and other career ventures. The event was widely successful with over 70 students showing up in their best corporate attire Due to the incredible success of the event, the Careers team plans on holding another photoshoot in the latter half of the year.
