Federation University Co-operative Model

 

Federation University Australia is becoming Australia’s first co-operative university.

 

The university has made a commitment to embed co-operative learning in every university degree and TAFE course by 2025.  Co-op involves designing and delivering education in co-operation with employers. Co-op benefits students by connecting them to employers and industries throughout their studies and giving them access to new opportunities.  Co-op also provides a clear pathway from enrolment to graduation and employment – and the foundation workplace skills needed to hit the ground running.

Every Federation Co-op undergraduate degree will include:

  • foundation workplace skills as well as the technical skills to prepare students for their future careers
  • industry experiences that contribute directly to course credits and graduation
  • a range of workplace learning opportunities to suit our students and employers including
  • paid cadetships
  • extended internships
  • shorter learning in the workplace opportunities
  • a team-based project for an industry partner
