Welcome back to the UniSAEDGE Bulletin. We hope that wherever you're reading this, you're safe and well.
Designed to help you make the most of your EDGE experience, this edition of the EDGE Bulletin shares upcoming development opportunities available to book now in EDGEx, and connects you to the Career Conversation. You’ll also find a recent graduate's story in the EDGE Spotlight – in this edition Clifford shares his skills development experience, and how it’s been useful in his PhD.
This series will run weekly from early June to mid July. To register, search the EDGE catalogue for the COVID series.
If you're not able to access face to face training, it might be a good time to explore other online development offerings like MOOCs, webinars and e-conferences. Remember, you can count these as part of your EDGE experience by completing the Self Record An Activity form once you’ve finished the activity to populate your EDGE Portfolio.
