International students contribute to Australia’s diverse communities, but many face challenges around employment, support networks and understanding their rights. In this podcast, we speak with AusWISE Event Marketing Lead Aditya Budhha about the organisation’s “Find Your Footing” Walkathon, which aimed to highlight these issues while helping students build connections, develop employability skills and awareness, and find a stronger sense of belonging in Australia.
