Why work with VU students?

VU students are engaged and work-ready in their discipline.

Our courses are designed together with industry, incorporating current standards, developments and technical advances, so that our students are equipped with the latest skills and expertise for the workplace.

Our students also bring a wealth of practical experience – they gain hands-on work experience with real clients through our agencies, studios, and health-and-wellbeing clinics. Depending on their study program, students undertake extensive placements in schools, hospitals, trades, businesses, government departments, sport institutes or community settings.

Hundreds of organisations over the year have offered VU students work placements that genuinely reflect current professional practice, including:

  • Ambulance Victoria
  • Berkley Capital Partners
  • Clariant chemical synthesis
  • Department of Environment and Primary Industries
  • Department of Education and Training
  • Fair Work Australia
  • Greater Western Water
  • Linfox
  • Malthouse Theatre
  • Maribyrnong College
  • Rob Stary Lawyers
  • SAP
  • Western Bulldogs football club
  • Western Health
  • WEstjustice community legal aid.

You can be sure that when you hire or host a VU student, they will be ready to take on any task you set them.

Employer Information sessions

Information sessions allow you to present information about employment and other opportunities within your organisation, in a relaxed and personal interaction with students. These sessions can be promoted to students from all year levels.

On-campus interviews

On-campus interviews are a great way to save time and money. They are convenient for students as they can undertake interviews and application tests on campus, making scheduling simpler. Private interview or assessment rooms can be provided at any Victoria University campus for organisations wishing to host or hire VU students (subject to availability).

Forums & seminars

Presenting at careers forums and seminars is a great opportunity to share your expertise and 'give something back' to students and the community. Careers forums or seminars are designed to provide students with information about current labour market and industry trends, graduate skills and attributes sought by employers. By delivering at a careers forum or seminar you can:

  • help to educate students about current labour market practices
  • increase your organisation's profile on campus
  • interact with engaged and motivated students
  • share your experience as an industry expert
  • inform potential candidates about your recruitment process and the skills and attributes you value most.

Raise your profile on campus

VU Employ can assist you to connect with staff and students in our Colleges. You can get involved by:

  • establishing a competition
  • creating a scholarship
  • sharing your expertise as a guest lecturer
  • sponsoring events or activities on campus.
