How can we help students prepare for employment?

At Curtin, we advocate for practical learning, providing you with the skills employers need. At the Perth campus, you will find various learning spaces that allow you to put theoretical knowledge into practice.

Our simulated clinical environments, as real learning scenarios, enable students to cultivate and apply their skills in fields such as nursing, occupational therapy, and pharmacy.Law students can conduct full agenda mock trials at the John Curtin Law Centre and the Jeanette Hacket Moot Court, thereby honing their defense and public speaking skills.

Additionally, we have various practical projects for different disciplines, such as simulated securities trading, engineering machinery operation, and early childhood education practice.
