We have heaps of great employability and career help for you at AUT, including the Employability Lab, Elab Online and NZUni Talent.
Who? What? I know - a list of unfathomable names, so here’s the lowdown on what we have and how you can access it. Read on because we are easy to find and access and can really help you with career decision making or job search etc.
This is our City Campus home at WA202 - and it isn’t a laboratory (I know, confusing!). The Employability Lab - nicknamed Elab - is where you:
You are more than welcome to drop in and say hello, sign up for sessions or to have a chat to our wonderful employability and career specialists. If we’re busy, sign onto Elab Online to make an appointment another time or browse our Career Sheets or other resources.
No worries. Our staff go to North and South Campus to run workshops organised by faculties and we sometimes follow these up with CV/cover letter drop ins and one-on-one appointments. If you know a workshop is coming up and you'd like to request a one-on-one appointment please email us: employability@aut.ac.nz
You can also book online for workshops and individual appointments if you prefer by signing up to Elab Online.
This is our online home where you sign up for all the events, workshops and career support offered by our team, including:
You can also access -
It is easy to sign up to Elab Online. Follow this link, click on 'Current Student', add your AUT user name and password - and you 're in.
Elab Online is home to the NZUni Talent job board. This is a great job board because it is a popular recruitment job board for employers looking for graduates. Look here for internships, graduate programmes and co-op type opportunities across the country. NZUni Talent is only open to tertiary students and graduates (up to two years) and employers only advertise if they’re wanting a graduate so it is a good place to sign up. Graduates can access it for two years after graduation too. Access through Elab Online.
These are our employability awards that help you build up the skills employers love - confidence, communication, teamwork, cultural competence, time management etc. The AUT Edge Award is for undergraduate students and the Beyond AUT Award is for postgraduates, and involves volunteering, leadership activities etc. This award appears on your academic transcript so it is a significant achievement. Find out more through - yep, you've guessed it - Elab Online or email: autedge@aut.ac.nz
Elab Online is the online home for all our resources and employer job ads.
It is also the booking system for our online and on campus workshops and events, including those run at the Employability Lab, the on-campus location for our employability and career specialists.
AUT Edge Award and Beyond AUT Awards are two programmes to help build up employability skills and run by Employability and Careers.
NZUni Talent is a general New Zealand tertiary job board found on Elab Online.
Hope this has helped! Look forward to seeing you around.
