Hi, I graduated from Deakin with a Bachelor of Marketing a few years ago and have been working in digital marketing since then.
I'm interested in moving into a marketing management role but I'm not sure what experience or skills I should be focusing on to make that transition.

Hi, I’ve been studying computer science at Deakin in Geelong, Australia and will be moving back to Delhi after graduation this year.
I’m interested to know if there are any professional networks I should join on my return to help with building my profile and finding a job in cyber security.
I’d love to hear any tips you might have. Thank you!

What students are saying
I think Alumni Connect is a great initiative because it gives students the opportunity to connect with people who have already been through the journey they’re about to begin. Being able to ask graduates for advice, learn about different industries, and build professional connections can make a real difference, especially when you’re figuring out your next steps after university. It’s a great way to make networking feel more approachable and help students feel more confident about their future careers.
