UniSA TAFE / RTO Links News and Events for Tafe and Registered Training Organisations

Hello

Introducing UniSA Links - a portal for career counsellors and teachers to download the latest news, events, careers and admissions advice for your students.

Since launching a year ago, the Career Counsellor Portal has become a valued resource for Career Counsellors - and any teacher that plays a role in inspiring their students about their future career. We have renamed the portal to UniSA Links to reflect the breadth of information and resources available for all teachers, and to encompass a number of services the Student Liaison Team offer including regular ezine updates and newsletters to keep you informed.

On your portal, you can:

  • Book campus tours and presentations for your school
  • Get information about UniSA Advantage bonus points
  • Learn more about UniSA's CareerShop program for year 10's
  • Download the latest career brochures and research the latest on UniSA programs
  • Read FAQs we get from your students

...and much more!

In this update, you'll find information on events, competitions and teaching resources. Log into your UniSA Links portal.
