Partner with us in our employability awards

The AUT Edge Award (open to all students) and Beyond AUT Award (for postgraduate students) encourage students to get involved in activities outside of study – they complete projects in volunteering, employability, leadership and challenge. These awards are all about giving students the chance to get involved with charitable initiatives and organisations they support and believe in.

We'd love to talk with you if you have a volunteering opportunity for a student to:

• Help the community or a charitable organisation while developing their skills
• Take on a leadership role with more responsibility

We also run a Volunteering Expo each year.
