This event is postponed
We regret to inform you that our Fireside Chat has been cancelled until further notice. We have been overwhelmed with the interest and engagement in Employability Week events from both university staff, students and industry. However, the ongoing health and wellbeing of the UQ Community has and will continue to be our number one priority. We will endeavour to deliver these events at some point in the future and in the meantime, provide our continued support to enhance your employability.
