Information for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Workready

Students can take paid or unpaid with an employer and, under the supervision of an academic staff member, prepare work based on this placement for academic assessment.

Workready provides a great opportunity to combine academic and vocationally relevant learning, and to include in your program a unit designed to be relevant to employment.
