For Employers
Guidelines for employers
Employers are able to recruit:
- final year students and recent graduates for graduate positions
- students at any stage of their study for vacation or work experience placements
Students from any year level are able to access graduate recruitment, vacation work and work experience information through CareerHub, once they have registered.
Work placement
Employers who provide a work placement that is approved by the University as being of relevance to their studies, should consult the University's 'insurance' website to gain a better understanding of the various insurance policies. Select the link titled 'Information for Employers on Work Placement'.
Employer presentations
All on-campus employer presentations and careers expos are held during the academic year, thus avoiding university vacation and examination periods.
Bookings for Graduate Recruitment Expo held in March and the Work Experience Expo must be confirmed at least 14 days before the event. More flexible arrangements can be negotiated for employer presentations. Employers are requested to notify Careers & Employment of any changes to their plans in time for us to inform students of such changes.
Please refer to Events for further information.
Interviews
It is the employer’s responsibility to inform successful applicants that they are to be interviewed.
Careers and Employment can organise interview facilities to conduct on-campus recruitment interviews, between the hours of 9.30am and 5.00pm. This service incurs a fee of $200 per day (which includes tea/coffee).
Employers are expected to treat students and applicants with respect and confidentiality at all times through the recruitment process and keep them informed of the progress and outcome of their application.
Promotional materials
The Careers Service reserves the right to decline to display or distribute company or organisational material which we consider inappropriate.
Company information will be displayed and distributed to students at the discretion of La Trobe University Careers and Employment staff.
