The Heart of the Regions: Why the #1 Job Rate is Outside the City

The Heart of the Regions: Why the #1 Job Rate is Outside the City Charles Sturt University (CSU) proves that you don’t need a big-city campus to get a big-city career. In fact, CSU is ranked #1 in Australia for undergraduate employment, with 89% of grads finding full-time work within four months. This is largely due to their focus on practical skills and deep connections with regional industries. Wisdom of Respectful Living At the center of CSU’s identity is the Wiradjuri phrase Yindyamarra winhanganha, meaning “the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in”. This isn’t just a slogan; it underpins their status as Australia’s first carbon neutral university. Specialized Rural Excellence CSU hosts unique facilities like an experimental winery and the National Life and Sciences Hub (NaLSH). These spaces allow students to tackle food security and animal health in environments that mimic their future rural workplaces. Takeaway If the goal of university is a job and a sustainable future, is the big city actually holding you back?
