Co-op cadetships
Cadetships are where you and Federation work together to simultaneously recruit your employees and our students directly out of secondary school or the broader employment market. This model can include part-time study and full-time work, or full-time study and part-time work.
Here’s how it works
- We work together to advertise your position externally.
- Candidates are shortlisted, with course entry requirements taken into account
- You interview, find your preferred candidate and offer them employment.
- Your brand-new employee enrolls in a Federation Uni course and begins studying while they work.
It’s all about that work/study balance
Depending on the course, a Cadet could be studying part-time and working full-time, or studying full-time and working part-time.
The most common structure looks like:
- Cadets needing to attend classes, either in-person or online, two days a week for 24 weeks of the year.
- Cadets would be able to work up to three days a week during teaching periods and more in non-teaching periods.
- During teaching periods, while classes will be blocked into two days a week, additional reading and assignment writing will be required.
Good for you and for them
Benefits to your organisation include:
- Cadetships can address skills shortages in your organisation
- Provide active involvement in developing your pipeline of new talent to fulfil your workforce needs.
- Cost effective recruitment.
