Placement

Placement means working in industry. It gives you the chance to apply your knowledge in real situations – great preparation for being in the workforce.

Co-op placements are usually undertaken from second year. The timing of yours will depend on your course structure and the pre-requisites required. For most courses, you'll need to complete 120 credit points, or 105 credit points plus your Professional Identity unit, before you start your placement. It's okay to complete your placement earlier than it appears in your course structure.

Once you’re enrolled in your course, an InPlace account will be created for you. You can log in using your student ID and Federation password. Start exploring placement opportunities on the portal as soon as you can. 

You're responsible for applying for placements that are aligned with your area of study and advertised on InPlace. It's essential to start early, so you can lock in your preferred placement. 

Use our resources to prepare and complete your application.

We've got a team of experts supporting your placement. If you need help, contact us on cooperativeplacement@federation.edu.au.
