Free employability resources for education providers

Give students a clearer path from study to work, without adding work for your team.

Explore Jobs gives universities, TAFEs, RTOs, colleges, and student support teams a free, ready-to-share resource for students looking for casual work, part-time roles, internships, apprenticeships, graduate opportunities, and first jobs in Australia.

Free to shareNo cost for institutions or students.
No lock-inNo exclusive arrangement or heavy setup.
Student-firstBuilt around work, preparation, wellbeing, and belonging.
Why this helps now

Students need a clearer first step, and staff need resources that do not create more admin.

Career teams, international offices, equity teams, student support teams, and educators are being asked to improve employability, participation, confidence, and student outcomes with limited time. Explore Jobs gives your team a student-friendly pathway you can share immediately: find work, improve applications, practise interviews, reset when pressure builds, and know what to do next.

“What stood out with Explore With Us is the variety of ways they give international students support, not just parties but accommodation and employment which is what our students need assistance with the most.”

Built for real student moments

Useful for domestic students, international students, graduates, and newcomers.

Explore Jobs is part of Explore With Us, a wider community platform helping people study, live, work, travel, and find their feet in Australia. That matters because employability is not only about a resume. It is also about confidence, belonging, cost of living, local knowledge, and knowing where to start.

“I need a job that fits around class.”Casual, part-time, seasonal, and flexible roles.
“I am applying and hearing nothing back.”Resume targeting, job-ad match tips, and follow-up guidance.
“I am new to Australia and unsure what employers expect.”Local career advice, interview practice, and community support.
“I feel overwhelmed and need to reset.”Anchor Soul provides a calm first step before the next action.
Career readiness plus wellbeing

Career Coach helps students prepare. Anchor Soul helps them steady themselves first.

Students often arrive at careers support feeling stuck, anxious, rejected, homesick, under financial pressure, or unsure how to talk about their experience. This page gives staff a warmer pathway to share: search, prepare, reset, then take one practical next step.

Quick answers

Questions your team may ask before sharing.

Is this free for universities, TAFEs, RTOs, and students?

Yes. The student-facing resources are free to review and share. Explore Jobs may offer separate employer campaigns or hiring packages, but institutions do not need to buy anything to share the student resources.

Do students need to create an account?

Students can browse jobs and try the Career Coach preview without a heavy start. Some features, such as saved history, unlimited practice, email summaries, and job alerts, may require a free candidate account.

Do institutions need to share student data?

No. The starter version is a resource-sharing pathway. Institutions can share the link without sending student data to Explore Jobs.

Is Anchor Soul a clinical service?

No. Anchor Soul is a calm reset and signposting tool. It is not therapy, diagnosis, medical advice, or crisis care. It should sit beside your existing student support and urgent-help pathways.

Can this support international students?

Yes. Explore Jobs and Explore With Us are especially relevant for students and newcomers building a life in Australia, including those navigating work expectations, cost of living, confidence, and belonging.
