“A colorful plate of opportunities”: career prospects at German Careers Day

German is not an easy language to learn. And then, of course, there is the question: What can I actually do with my German language skills? German Careers Day was organised to answer this question. It took place in Melbourne on October 25 and is a collaboration between the University of Melbourne, Monash University and the Goethe-Institut.
