Current students

Graduation is not just a milestone, but a turning point. From quiet realisations to uncertain possibilities, recent RMIT graduates reflect on what it truly means to step beyond university life.

For many students, volunteering is simply a way to give back. Compared with part-time jobs or club positions, it is often considered a lower-commitment activity with limited opportunities for growth. But for the students featured in this story, volunteering turned out to be something much more transformative.

Many students feel intimidated when starting their careers, especially when job descriptions ask for experience that they have yet to gain. But the fact is, everyone begins somewhere. For most beginners, experience starts with small opportunities that gradually build skills, confidence, and direction in the future.
