Planet Positive Program

Learn more

The greatest challenge of human existence is upon us: the planet is suffering and the consequences for present and future generations are profound.

Tackling climate change, waste generation and the loss of biodiversity is the responsibility of every person. It’s a responsibility to be “Planet Positive.” Being Planet Positive means more than achieving net zero emissions. It’s also about making sure that human activity is restorative of ecosystems.

Curtin students feel this responsibility keenly. They also know that a mastery of complex skills is required to solve challenging environmental issues. Students want these skills and the opportunity to positively effect change in their future careers.

Curtin graduate Dikshita Awotarowa is already creating spaces where women can thrive in the finance industry. 🙋‍♀️

For Dikshita, embarking on a career in the male-dominated finance industry did come with its challenges, as she often found herself part of a minority in various investor meetings and conferences.

Determined to bridge the gender divide, Dikshita founded the Women in Finance and Investment Network.

Curtin Commerce graduate Brett Marris understands how daunting it can be trying to land your dream role once you’ve completed your studies. 🎓💼

Since graduating from Curtin, Brett has found himself loving life at Rio Tinto as part of their People Experience function, managing the recruitment of a variety of senior leadership and technical positions around the business.

Brett shares below his top three tips for fellow graduates looking to start their career off on the right foot.

𝟏. 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. This can be something as simple as volunteering your time after hours or helping at an event. Doing this allows you to meet and get to know people you would otherwise not regularly interact with.

𝟐. 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝. Just because something doesn’t tick every box at a certain point in time, don’t let this deter you from taking a chance or trying something new. You may surprise yourself.

𝟑. 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫. You never know when you may need to leverage these or when the opportunity to assist someone else will arise.

Thanks for sharing, Brett!
