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
