Our economic contribution
Learn about Federation University’s contribution to the economic prosperity and long-term future of its communities.
Federation University has been part of regional Victoria for more than 150 years. Today, we're integral to the development and success of the Ballarat, Gippsland, Melbourne and Wimmera districts.
As a dual-sector institution, we're helping shape the economic and social growth of our local communities. This contribution extends well beyond our campuses. Federation is training skilled workers, supporting thousands of jobs, creating equitable education and helping build the workforce Victoria and its economy need.

Independent economic analysis
The figures above are from a report by SED Advisory, a Ballarat-based strategic enterprise. We commissioned the group to analyse how Federation University, Federation TAFE and our graduates contribute to the economic prosperity and workforce of our local communities. The modelling was based on the assumption that 70% of Federation graduates will stay in their local region and be employed in their field of study. The report includes both short-term and 25-year estimates.
