Employee skill improvement
As an employer, you'll benefit from your employees' newly-acquired skills, qualities and up-to-date knowledge.
Our coursework programs are closely aligned with industry; we can tailor them to the needs of your company.
Postgraduate students are recognised for their professionalism, resilience, resourcefulness and patience and exhibit skill in a diverse range of areas, including research, conceptualising ideas, negotiation, management and creativity.
Graduate Certificates
A Swinburne Graduate Certificate in Business Management is a smart option for employers looking to fill a skills gap or improve upon their employees' existing knowledge.
A selection of Graduate Certificates are delivered by Swinburne TAFE and are ideally suited to prospective students looking to advance their established career.
These vocationally-based courses generally take no more than a year of part-time study to complete and are offered across an array of business disciplines. Most offer evening or weekend classes and some offer an online delivery mode.

Sponsorship
At Swinburne we encourage employers to sponsor their employees in further study. As an employer, you may choose 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 linked with industry, your employee can undertake project work within your company.
