My career opportunities

Graduates could find careers in industrial relations or human resource management across private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

The knowledge acquired will be relevant at the workplace level (for example, to those involved in enterprise bargaining and the management of staff), at peak body level (for example, those employed by employer associations and unions), and for those involved in policy formulation and implementation (for example, in state and commonwealth departments). You may be responsible for helping formulate policy and its implementation in the context of changing international, national and industry based employment practices. You may also find opportunities in advisory and consultant positions and also industrial officer and organiser positions in employer associations, employment relations consulting firms and unions.

Pathways to further study
