Partner With Us

Play your part in shaping the future of your industry by becoming a Foundation Education Industry Partner.

Be Part of Something Great

Take an active role in training your next generation of staff by partnering with Foundation Education as an Industry Partner.

An industry partnership offers you the opportunity to mentor students through the practical aspects of their course within your workplace. Foundation Education places great importance on the value of our Industry Partners and we are always seeking to expand our partnership network. 

These partnership opportunities are mutually beneficial. Your role in providing students access to practical hands-on experience gives them the skills they will need to be job-ready upon graduation. In facilitating this partnership, your organisation will also benefit by having direct access to a skilled workforce that offers you a cost-effective and straightforward recruitment opportunity.

Industry Partnerships Benefit Your Business

A partnership with Foundation Education offers your business abundant benefits and prospects that increase your brand exposure through your association with Foundation Education. An industry partnership also gives you free screening opportunities for potential job candidates. When you train Foundation Education students in your business, the experience you provide will, in turn, offer you an extra pair of hands when you need them and an additional source of revenue.

Your recruitment process will also be simplified! When your mentees are ready to graduate, you will have the first pick of recruiting the highly skilled industry-ready graduates that you had a hand in training. Finally, your input into students' education will shape the future of your industry.

The Vocational Placement Process

With access to practical placements, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in industry-leading businesses.

Combined with the theory components of their course, which students complete online in their own time, students graduate from Foundation Education with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen profession.

Once a student has enrolled with Foundation Education and has completed their theoretical assessments, they will be asked to complete a work etiquette and professional skills development course to ensure they are ready to be offered vocational placement. You will then be provided with the opportunity to interview candidates for available vocational placement positions within your business. 

Once you have selected your candidates, students will complete practical workplace training in your business under your guidance and mentorship. Upon graduation, you will have the option of recruiting them directly.

Have You Considered Traineeships?

Your business could benefit from a partnership with Foundation Education through our Funding Partnership option, allowing you to offer students a traineeship within your company.

As a Funding Partner, you will have access to government funding that will subsidise your trainees' wages. By doing so, you will provide an otherwise unqualified person with the opportunity to gain valuable skills and meaningful employment, all while increasing the productivity of your business. 

No. Practical Placement Partners are not obliged to pay students. And while Practical Placement Partners would have the first opportunity to hire the students they have invested their time into training, there is no expectation, either from Foundation Education or the students, to hire them upon graduation.

All placement students come ready to start their hands-on work experience with personal liability, professional indemnity and work cover insurance already taken care of. The Practical Placement Partner is responsible for meeting approved safe work conditions and providing the student with access to hands-on experience.

Foundation Education provides a structured learning plan as part of the students' Practical Placement Kit, a document designed to assist our industry partners in facilitating our students' workplace experiences.

I chose to study with Foundation Education because I could complete my studies remotely, online at my own pace, which meant that I could have a good work, life, and study balance. 

I was offered a position as a dental assistant straight away, and it would not have been possible without my online study with Foundation Education.

Before admitting to Foundation Education, I searched a lot about the courses and reviews. Based on the positivity of people for Foundation Education, I felt like this is the institute I want to study at.  

I have researched so many study options. But, in the end, I choose to study with Foundation Education because they provide me with more flexibility and support.
