Want to become more competitive in the challenging transition from study to career?
Here is your Opportunity!!!
UniSA Disability Services will fund 15 places in the Willing and Able Mentoring (WAM) Program in 2011.
WAM is a career mentoring program for tertiary students who have a disability.
WAM was started in response to many people with a disability being overlooked for career opportunities, despite being as talented as their peers.
The (WAM) Program matches tertiary students who have a disability with Mentors in leading organisations in the students' field of interest.
Applicants must be available for a training workshop, then six to eight mentor sessions at the mentor's workplace, and a debriefing and certificate presentation event at the end of the program.
Meetings with the Mentor are focussed on:
• Gathering information about the career environment you are heading towards
• Refining interview skills
• Experiencing the workplace culture (eg. staff meetings)
• Developing better skills in presenting a professional profile
• Disclosure and demistifying disability and related workplace issues (eg. workplace modifications)
How Do I apply??
To apply, simply write a statement in 100 words or less why it would be useful for you to join the WAM program. Email your statement or any queries to disability@unisa.edu.au before Monday 11th April 2011.
If you are accepted, you will be asked to fill out a WAM application form.

Week Two
It's week two and uni can feel overwhelming when you are given so much information at once...
Do you know what is expected of you?
There are no stupid questions at university and it's better to ask now rather than wait until you have an assignment due and don't understand the work! Talk to your lecturer, tutor or someone at the LTU.
Are you attending classes?
Going to classes can be a great way of meeting other students. Consider starting a study group where 4 or 5 of you meet regularly to discuss your readings and lecture material.
If you are not attending classes, you may miss out on important information about your assignments, or opportunities to ask questions.
Lifestyle balance:
A key to being a successful student is to have clear goals and a well-balanced lifestyle that provides the opportunity for you to achieve your goals. Try this online guide which provides you with some strategies and practical ideas to achieve this balance.
Thinking about withdrawing?
Consider your options, talk it over and make an informed decision... for more information, try this link.
