Are you a James Cook University graduate who is keen
- To stay in touch with University friends?
- To network with peers in the same discipline or industry?
- To be in touch with latest professional trends & developments?
- To participate and organise occasional events?
- To contribute to society through meaningful voluntary work?
Then setting up your own Alumni Network might be just the thing to get your teeth into and it takes just 3 simple steps to get things going:
Step 1: Gather 3 like minded graduates
It takes just 3 like minded graduates and a JCU staff member (to provide support) to start the formation of a “Network” based on either geographical location, or on a subject, discipline or professional interest
Step 2: Email JCU Singapore Alumni Engagement Office
Simply email JCU Singapore Alumni Engagement Office (alumni@jcu.edu.sg) with minimium 3 core interested individuals to start the ball rolling. Please note that the minimum number of interested core individual required may differs according to certain variables, the Alumni Engagement Office will help and advise accordingly.
Once that is done, Alumni Engagement Office will source & extract a list of like minded individuals from their alumni database who have expressed similar interest, live in the same country or are part of the same professional / discipline cohort.
An invitation email will be drafted and sent out by Alumni Engagement Office on behalf of the new Network.
Step 3: Organise Start Up Functions / Events
Once a small group is started, Alumni Engagement Office will assist the new Network Committee with organising a couple of start-up functions to further it's growth.
Once the Network is stabilised and fully functional on its own, JCU Singapore Alumni Engagement Office will step back and take on a supporting advisory role.
By encouraging the development of networks, the University aims to provide alumni with a vehicle by which they can use their special skills and knowledge, network, give back to the institution, preserve and upgrade the standing of their degree/s and make a difference to the experience of life long learning for many.
Individual career counselling to discuss your career concerns is available free for all Alumni for up to one year after graduation.
Feel free to drop into our Careers Services Office at Room B01-01 for the following:
- CVs, cover letters, job hunting and interview skills
- Employer and industry information
- Job profiles including options with your degree subject
- Local labour market data
A career counsellor can assist if you are considering what career path to choose or how to start a job search. A meeting with a Career counsellor can help start you in the right direction.
You can also email in queries to careersservice@jcu.edu.sg.
Careers Services Office hold regular Careers Fairs on campus where students and alumni get to network with representatives from diverse industry sectors and learn about their businesses and potential careers in Asia. The most recent Campus Career Fair was held on 29 April 2011. To view photos from the event click here.
Besides on campus Careers Fairs, we also invites alumni members to regular Careers Networking Events. The latest of such events happened at Attica, Singapore on 24 Mar 2011.
Alumni members met & networked with 40 corporate representatives from specially selected premium companies such as Unilever, Singapore Tourism Board, Volvo, Starhub, Leo Burnett, Mediacorp & many more. To view the photos from the event. please click here.
However, the university does not offer job placement. All graduates undergo their own job search. At the end of the day, it is their confidence, personality and presentation that secure the job during the interview.
James Cook University boasts a dynamic alumnus community both in Singapore and in other countries in the Asia Pacific Region with events held regularly in all countries.
