INDUSTRY LEARNING
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH INDUSTRY TO GIVE STUDENTS THE REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE TO SUCCEED IN THE WORKPLACE, WITH OPPORTUNITIES LIKE INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS, INDUSTRY ELECTIVES, HANDS-ON LEARNING, DEDICATED CAREER SUPPORT AND MORE.

WORK-BASED LEARNING
During some courses, you will have the opportunity to participate in a work-based learning (WBL) placement, designed to allow you to extend your formal learning beyond the classroom.
WBL provides the opportunity to take your learning into a workplace and test your knowledge in a professional, real-world environment. Some courses include compulsory WBL subjects, but we also offer a range of elective WBL subjects, both cross-discipline and subject-specific.
We’ll source placements for some subjects on your behalf, while others require you to source your own. If you’re required to source your own, our staff will support you through the process. Students undertaking placements regionally are also eligible to access additional support under the Regional Reward program.
INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS
COMPULSORY PLACEMENT SUBJECTS
Depending on your course, you may be required to undertake compulsory professional placements as part of your studies. This could be clinical or professional education in the form of placements, work-integrated learning, fieldwork and other clinical and professional experience. These subjects are compulsory and required in order to gain professional registration.
ELECTIVE INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS
We have a range of elective opportunities to gain work-relevant experience for academic credit with our network of industry and community partners.
La Trobe offers a range of university-wide elective placement subjects, allowing eligible students, who don’t have a compulsory placement subject in their course or those wanting to do an additional placement, to complete 100-400 hours of supervised, academically-supported placements.
CAREER READY ADVANTAGE
CAREER READY ADVANTAGE AWARD
Our sector-leading employability program that encourages students to develop the skills and experiences highly valued by employers.
Students can achieve up to three awards, based on completion of a minimum number of activities.
CAREER READY INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
A 2-3 week industry experience where students choose a project in their area of itnerest and work virtually in teams to solve a real-world industry challenge for a client. The projects are designed to suit students in any degree, are available at any stage of a course and don't count towards total course credit points.
LEARNING WITH INDUSTRY
We know nothing beats real-world, practical experience. Unlike other unis with a more theoretical approach, we want you to learn the useful stuff employers are looking for.
That’s why we’ve got you covered with work-integrated learning and industry placement options embedded across many of our degrees, giving you the flexibility to get hands-on experience while balancing study, work and life commitments.
DEDICATED JOB AND CAREER SUPPORT
Build your resume and expand your professional network while you study, with our dedicated career services and employability programs which include industry mentoring and networking, specialist career consultations along with resume and interview prep tools, internships, placements and leadership programs.
