Benefits of being an ambassador


Student ambassadors at VU

Being an ambassador is a rewarding job with many benefits. They include:

  • having fun while earning money
  • enhancing your public relations, communication and leadership skills
  • gaining valuable work experience
  • flexibility to choose your shifts each week based on a range of opportunities
  • broadening your networks.

In this diverse role, you will be required to represent the University and its course offerings at a range of events, including:

  • school, community and major expos (for example, The Age VCE and Careers Expo)
  • Open Day and other VU recruitment events
  • school visits (both on campus and at the schools)
  • information sessions.

In addition, you may also be required to make presentations, take part in student panels, attend events and conduct campus tours.

Key requirements

To become an ambassador, you need to be enthusiastic about your course and about VU. You should also want to share your enthusiasm and experience with future students.

In addition, a Student Ambassador is required to:

  • hold a current Victorian Driver's Licence
  • have the right to work in Australia
  • be flexible with the hours worked (ambassador shifts will vary in duration and time of the day; there will be a range of shifts available during business hours, after hours and on weekends)
