Partner with the Aboriginal Education Centre

Learn how you can work with the Aboriginal Education Centre to create employment pathways, meet organisational goals and access cultural awareness support.

The Aboriginal Education Centre works closely with industry to help First Peoples students build confidence, gain experience and become job‑ready. We invite organisations and businesses to partner with us and play an active role in shaping the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates.

By getting involved, you’ll help create real pathways for young people to connect with local employers, explore careers and transition smoothly into study and work. Partnership also gives you the opportunity to engage with community, strengthen your workforce initiatives and access cultural awareness support along the way.

How you can get involved

Support our education programs
The VCE programs we run each year rely on support from industry partners. You can help by becoming a sponsor or guest speaker, running a site tour or collaborating to develop new initiatives.
Hire current students or alumni
Our students need work placement opportunities, and our graduates are looking for work. You can support the AEC by offering current Federation students temporary or long-term roles at your organisation.
Get reconciliation advice
If you're developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) for your organisation but don't quite know where to start, we can help you determine which type of RAP is appropriate and what to include in your draft.
