Work placements and mentoring
We are committed to Learning in the Workplace and Community (LIWC). This is an innovative way for students to gain practical work experience in a trade, industry or profession while studying. Whether on-the-job or work-based project or research, students are producing work with real benefits to industry and the community. You can support VU by providing opportunities for students to complete a work placement in your organisation or undertake a work-based project as a part of their coursework that benefits your organisation.
You can also support VU by participating in our mentoring program to help students prepare for the challenges in the real world.
