Employer Sponsorship
At Swinburne we encourage employers to sponsor their employees in further study. Our postgraduate courses are geared towards real-world learning that benefits both the student and the organisation they work for, with employers able to cover the costs for some or all of a staff-member's professional development.
Sponsoring an employee not only allows you to benefit from their enhanced skills and up-to-date knowledge, but gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to their vocational improvement and strengthen your working relationship.
Also, because postgraduate coursework is closely involved with industry, your employee can undertake project work in authentic conditions or, where appropriate, may work on projects within your company.
