Recruitment Ready helps Business, Economics and Law (BEL) students understand real‑world recruitment processes and build the skills needed for competitive applications. Delivered every semester in collaboration with an industry partner, the program gives you hands‑on experience in how employers assess candidates for internships, vacation programs and graduate roles.

Over just a few weeks, you’ll gain a clear understanding of the recruitment process – from submitting applications to interviewing – while practising the skills employers value most. The program is designed for mid‑degree students and is best completed before applying for work experience or employment opportunities.

What you'll learn

By completing Recruitment Ready, you’ll develop practical insights into:

• what to expect from a real recruitment process
• the behaviours, attributes and professional skills employers look for
• how to stand out and communicate your value confidently
• how to present professionally, in writing and in person
• how to reflect on feedback and improve for future applications.

Recruitment Ready is open to domestic and international BEL students, undergraduate and postgraduate.

To apply, you must:

• be currently enrolled in a UQ BEL single or dual degree, and
