Transition to Career

As a current Monash student, you can get involved as a mentor or mentee to further develop your confidence, career aspirations, and employability.

We are here to help you in your final years of study to connect with alumni and industry to help make your next step to a career path or to explore further study.

Once you finish your studies, you can return as an Alumni and pay forward what you’ve learned. Our alumni often return as mentors to our current students.

We encourage you to stay connected with Monash when in the workforce and be part of our Alumni community. We want to see you thrive, to hear your views and perspectives and give you the chance to share your experiences with current students, long after you graduate.
