A Student-Led Initiative Fostering Professional Connections

The Murdoch Veterinary Students Association (MVSA) students recently held the annual careers fair.  This student led initiative that is one of the key activities of the student calendar.

The fair featured 17 booths, each purchased by various employer groups or other veterinary industry groups keen to engage with future veterinarians in attendance. These stalls served as platforms for meaningful interactions between students and potential employers, offering an invaluable opportunity for students to explore career options, seek guidance, and make professional connections.

One of the standout aspects of the MVSA careers fair is its inclusivity. Students from all years are encouraged to attended, creating a vibrant and diverse atmosphere. This broad participation ensures that even students from earlier years of the course can glean insights into their future career paths, while senior students can directly interact with potential employers and seek job opportunities.

The funds raised from booth purchases play a crucial role in the MVSA community. The revenue generated is channelled back into the student body, enabling other student-led events throughout the year. This cycle of support fosters a thriving community where students can continuously engage in enriching activities and initiatives.
