Co-operative Education
Co-operative Education offers students a year of paid, full-time employment with an organisation (for a minimum of 40 weeks) as the third year of a four-year business degree.
Students undertake a preparation program during the second year of study and enter the workplace the following year. They are then able to apply their knowledge in a real business situation, boost professional and interpersonal skills and be part of a workplace team. At Victoria University, we believe there is more to education than classes and seminars.
And there are proven benefits once students enter the employment market.
Research shows that more than two and half times as many Co-op students as other students are in full-time work less than one month after graduation.
Co-operative Education is available to nearly all undergraduate students studying a business degree course in Australia.
It is compulsory for students studying tourism and hospitality.
