Beca Gives You Options
Whether you are clear about the direction you want to go in, or would like to keep your options open, at Beca you know that the opportunities will be there to shape a career that suits you.
A career is not only about the discipline that you choose to study and then pursue beyond graduation. There’s a whole raft of other aspects you need to consider. As a Beca graduate, you are continually presented with all kinds of opportunities that combine to create the career you want to have.
For example:
- You are likely to find out about what happens in other disciplines, and how they all come together on a project, by working as part of a multi-disciplinary team,
- Chances are, you’ll work on many interesting projects, and we encourage you to put your hand up if you hear of one you’d particularly like to be involved with,
- Your technical specialisation may change over time, as you learn more about what options are out there,
- Sometimes there are opportunities to work on an overseas project, or even relocate temporarily or permanently,
- We can support you if you choose to work towards professional registration,
- There are a range of career paths (other than as a technical expert) available to you. You may find that you’re good at team management, or project management, or you may enjoy pursuing opportunities in a business development role.
- Through our mentoring programme you will get the opportunity to be guided by a more experienced colleague,
- You may be interested in getting involved in an industry organisation. Some of our grads are helping to educate school students about the engineering profession and career opportunities within it.
- You can get to know your colleagues better and network with people from all over the business through our very active Social Club.
Some grads even find time to use their skills for volunteer work!
The upshot is, if you are proactive, the possible outcomes could be endless!
