Diversify your workforce

Foster diversity and inclusion in the workplace through career-ready placements.

Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the workplace creates opportunities to build an environment where both individuals and businesses can thrive. The University of Newcastle is a proud advocate for inclusion. We collaborate closely with industry and community partners to promote inclusive practices and foster a culture that values diversity as a strength.

By engaging with our career-ready placement students, you can benefit from fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that help your organisation adapt to the needs of an increasingly diverse and global market. Partnering with us not only enhances your talent pipeline but also establishes your organisation as a forward-thinking employer of choice - committed to creating an inclusive workplace.

Our career-ready placement program offers an opportunity to welcome Indigenous, international, LGBTQIA+ students, and students with disability or a health condition into your workplace. This enriches your teams’ diversity, broadening your organisational perspective.

Together, we can work towards a shared vision of creating better employment opportunities for all students as they transition to the workforce, regardless of their circumstances.

Join us in empowering the next generation of leaders while driving innovation and success in your organisation. Together, we can build a brighter, more inclusive future.
