Careers Clinics

Deakin CREATE is running a series of free, seven-week career clinics designed to support people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds as they work to re-build their careers in Australia.

Each clinic uses a supportive mentee/mentor model, pairing every participant with a mentor – someone experienced in the Australian employment landscape – to provide guidance throughout the program.

Who Can Join?

• Anyone who has arrived in Australia as a refugee or seeking asylum.
• There are no restrictions on visa types, country of origin, or mode of arrival to get to Australia.
• However, we do request mentees are ready to enter the workforce, have a good level of English, have post-secondary qualifications, and ideally, have some relevant work experience.
