Employer and Industry Collaboration

You need the best people to make your business thrive. We work closely with all the diverse industries in our region to ensure that every one of our courses is designed to meet employer needs.

This in turn provides ideal outcomes for our students and helps make a positive impact in our communities. 

More than 75% of our students spend part of their course undertaking work placements, which help facilitate valuable connections between students and potential employers. 

We also offer a wide range of workplace or industry-only courses, which have been specifically developed to upskill people who are already working.  

Let's Collaborate

We enjoy open, ongoing, two-way conversations with our partners in industry. This keeps us up to date with what's happening in the ‘real world' and ensures that we’re providing innovative and relevant education services.

Together, we collaborate on work-based learning initiatives like the co-development of micro-credentials, student internships, cadetship opportunities and special projects.

If you have ideas for new courses, or suggestions on how we can update our existing courses to better align with the changes you're seeing in your industry, please contact us.
