The 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
