 UTS:IT Undergraduate and Scholarships Information Evening UTS:IT are holding an Undergraduate and Scholarships Information Evening to provide IT course and scholarship information to students and parents. The courses available for the 2010 intake are:
When: 6pm Monday 4 May 2009   More UTS Engineering and Information technology information - Engineering Undergraduate Information Evening: Wednesday 24 June http://www.eng.uts.edu.au UTS Careers Advisers Day 11 March 2009 - a short report. UTS is aiming to be not just an Australian, but a world leader in Technology. They are proud of their "whole university integration", meaning that they work as a team rather than in seperate faculties. This is most obvious in their new Bachelor of Global Studies degree. The very successful combined degree in International Studies has now been running for 12 years, but the Bachelor of Global Studies is in its first year with 37 students. This degree focuses on learning about the global political, economic and cultural processes, institutions and theories involved in a particular area of interest. Students are able to draw connections between these global phenomena and concrete local practices in work and life, seeing the different opportunities and constraints that exist for different groups of people. The course requires students to be able to engage in complex problem solving regarding global phenomena from several different perspectives. Career options exist in globally oriented workplaces which may include international advisory and management positions in governmental organisations such as foreign affairs or the UN, non-government agencies, and companies that operate globally. There was a very interesting presentation, showing one type of technology at UTS, by a student who had developed a control for a wheelchair that worked by the occupant telling the chair which direction to move using brainwaves. A presentation by a Global Exchange officer showed the variety of opportunities for visiting other countries while completing your studies. UTS has over 100 partner universities around the world. Furthering the university's integration theme they have the slogan "Where creativity meets technology" and they are about to go online with a new website: www.2worlds.uts.edu.au They would like careers advisers to have a look and give them feedback before they launch the site. On Tuesday 17 February, the Federal Government announced UTS as the headquarters for the new Creative Industries Innovation Centre (CIIC). One of six centres forming the Australian Government's Enterprise Connect initiative, CIIC will be located at UTS’s city campus, just a few kilometres from the head offices of 39 per cent of Australia’s creative industries, 70 per cent of the major international creative IT companies, and most of Australia’s banks. Receiving $17 million of federal funding over three years, the centre aims to increase the competitiveness, profitability, productivity and innovation of Australia’s creative industries.

This sudden change reverses the commitment that Program Companies had made to the 2009 Program and renders it unviable. Unfortunately the 2009 Program is now cancelled.
We would be grateful if Careers Advisers would take the following action:
· let your Year 12 students know that this year’s Program has been cancelled
· advise them that the Program Launch on 27 March will not occur
· take down any promotional posters that you may have posted at your school
Over the last two years the Business Cadetships Program has been extremely successful, with over forty cadets placed with leading companies in the banking and finance sector. Professional Cadetships Australia will remain afloat as a company so that when the global economic situation improves, we can resume the Business Cadetships Program.
Thank you for your support of the Program to date. We apologise for any inconvenience that cancellation of the 2009 Program may have caused. | Easter Holiday 13 - 26 April 2009 | Term 1, Week 11, 6 - 12 April 2009 | Term 1, Week 10, 30 March - 5 April 2009 | Term 1, Week 9, 23 - 29 March 2009 | Term 1, Week 8, 16 - 22 March 2009 | Term 1, Week 7, 9 - 15 March 2009 | Term 1, Week 6, 2 - 8 March 2009 | | Term 4, Week 9, 14 - 20 December 2009 | Term 4, Week 8, 7 - 13 December 2009 | Term 4, Week 7, 30 November - 6 December 2009 | Term 4, Week 6, 23 - 29 November 2009 | Term 4, Week 5, 16 - 22 November 2009 | Term 4, Week 4, 9 - 15 November 2009 | Term 4, Week 3, 2 - 8 November 2009 | Term 4, Week 2, 26 October - 1 November 2009 | Term 4, Week 1, 19 - 25 October 2009 | Spring Holiday 2009 | Term 3, Week 10, 28 September - 4 October 2009 | Semester 1 2009 | | High Schools Home | What's New 2010 | What's New 2009 | EventsCalendar 2010 | NewsEventsSchools | | Return Home | News/Events/Schools | Post School | Course Search | Explore Careers | Careers Advice | Careers Advisers | Links | Contact Us | |
