New Earn and Learn Model

With this in mind, RMIT, together with its industry partners, has developed the  ‘Earn and Learn’ model - a nationally recognised work-based-learning qualification that combines vocational and higher education, co-designed and delivered with industry. It combines TAFE and University Education to create learning opportunities to address looming skills shortages, improve workforce participation, as well as the need to upskill and reskill large parts of the workforce.

Students will be paid as a full-time employee at their place of work, earning a pay check as they gain their degree. Their employer will also make a contribution to their student tuition fees. Employers will have the ability to hone students’ craft and shape their skills and expertise to suit their needs, while also teaching them intangible workplace skills.  Degree Apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering and Bachelor of Medical Radiation (Nuclear Medicine – Industry Practice) (in Queensland).The University expects to roll out ‘Earn and Learn’ models across more programs in the coming years.
