Set your path for employment or further education.

Federation University prides itself on offering a suite of education options. Our programs provide learning opportunities with direct pathways to vocational programs, higher education entry into Federation University Australia and employment. The Ready for Work Program creates pathways for at-risk students in education, employment and training through the delivery of units from Australia wide recognised industry qualifications. This program is aimed at 15 to 18-year-olds currently at risk of leaving the education system permanently, or who are looking at undertaking a suite of vocational units that enhance their resume and future employment prospects. The program focusses on personal effectiveness, work readiness and ‘hands-on’ project-based learning. Students are encouraged to make decisions that will promote positive outcomes and options for their future.
