About Us

The ANU Learning and Teaching portfolio supports the University’s strategic learning and teaching goals, with a focus on excellence and innovation in curriculum, learning and teaching, academic digital infrastructure, and careers and employability.

With your exceptional interpersonal skills, you will take initiative to work closely with existing and new employers and industry, as well as academic colleagues, professional staff, employers and alumni to coordinate and deliver targeted career education and employer engagement initiatives across the University. You will have a strong ability to manage a range of activities simultaneously to support the design and delivery of curriculum-embedded and stand-alone careers services for students and recent graduates.
