Career Ready Advantage is La Trobe's sector leading employability award program. The program has been developed in collaboration with industry and encourages students to develop the skills and experiences that employers have told us they highly value. It has been designed to help students enhance their employability and improve their prospects of securing graduate opportunities when they leave La Trobe.

In the program, students will complete activities across 3 sections – Professional Learning, Practical Experience and a Career Portfolio. Once all of the required activities have been completed, students will be awarded a certificate based on the award level they have reached. Our awards start at Silver and then work up to Gold and Platinum. Completion of each award you complete before you graduate will go onto your Academic Transcript.

Career Ready Advantage Silver Award

I am an aspiring business strategist with a keen interest in all things digital, creative and entrepreneurial. My passion for innovation and transformative experiences has led me to opportunities that have developed my skillsets within digital marketing, content creation, community management as well as business development and strategy. Fueled by a drive to grow and curiosity to learn, this has led to my next goal of developing a good business foundation through a second bachelor's degree in Business to supplement my knowledge from my previous Arts degree in Psychology and Media Communications as well as my personal growth over the years. On the side, a laundry list of my interests include film production, art+lifestyle events, urban culture, dance, coffee, mixology, music and narrative gaming.
