As the Northern Territory's largest international education provider, Charles Darwin University (CDU) goes beyond delivering education by creating meaningful employment opportunities that help international students thrive during and after their studies.

Through initiatives such as the Australian Workplace Experience (AWEsome) Program and employment opportunities across a range of academic and professional roles, CDU enables international students to gain valuable workplace experience, build professional networks and develop career-ready skills. These opportunities help students strengthen their employability while establishing lasting connections within the Territory.

Its commitment to student development and career pathways demonstrates the significant impact employers can have in helping international students achieve their goals and contribute to the community.

Congratulations to Charles Darwin University on this well-deserved recognition and for their ongoing commitment to supporting international students and graduates across the Northern Territory. 👏
