You will also have the opportunity to find out about the Australian workplace and develop valuable skills you can take with you into your future of work.
The Local Legends (local students) are there to help you settle in, gain confidence and become established at UTS. We hope that you will feel comfortable approaching them with any questions or problems you may have.
To be eligible to join, you must be a first-year international or Study Abroad or Exchange student at UTS.

Local Legends (local students)
Becoming a Network Café Local Legend is a unique opportunity that can offer a fulfilling and fun-filled experience. Supporting your international friends as they settle in and become established at UTS can be rewarding and inspiring in equal measure.
At Network Café events, you’ll be in contact with other local and overseas students, making it a great opportunity to make friends, practice a new language, learn more about different cultures or share your favourite hobby.
You will also have the opportunity to develop valuable transferable skills and experiences that will enhance your employability and you can take into your future work place. These include:
- Cross-cultural communication
- Leadership
- Networking
If you are planning to go on exchange, attending Network Café can be a great way to prepare; they may be able to teach you more about the country you plan to travel to or help you to understand some of the joys and pitfalls of being a student in a new country.
A current student with at least one semester completed at UTS is eligible to become a Local Legend.
Local Legends are recruited twice a year in June/July for Spring session and January/February for Autumn session.
