Create meaningful placements as a co-op partner
An online program to support mentors, supervisors and organisational leaders as you guide students through co-operative learning placements.
Introducing the program
Hear from Leigh Kennedy, Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Engagement at Federation University
How the program works
Watch a series of short videos designed to support you through each stage of hosting a student placement.
You can watch the videos in any order, whenever it suits you. Whether you follow them sequentially or dip in and out, the content is there to guide you when you need it.
Throughout the program, you’ll hear from people who have supervised placements, supported students, or been students themselves. Their insights offer a well-rounded view of how to create a valuable and rewarding placement experience.

Connect with other opportunities as a co-op partner
There are naturally people in the workplace who are really lifted by the honour of being able to coach and mentor other people. Students coming into the workplace gives those people an opportunity to shine and embrace what it is that they love to do."
