Please note - Swinburne University of Technology

Recent surveys show that Swinburne Engineering graduates
have the highest rate of employment after graduation of any
Engineering schools within Victoria.
This means:
they are ' results orientated' ;
they already understand and accept workplace targets,
relationships and disciplines;
they are a year older and more mature;
they have completed a longer course, e.g. engineers have
had three-and-a-half years full-time study with the same
teaching content of a four-year course, plus one year of
supervised paid employment;
they also bring with them knowledge of the latest
technology, acquired in the course of their studies.
Employers alerted to the ' bottom line' advantages will also be
interested in these further benefits:
by employing a student for hidher training, the employer
can evaluate a potential graduate's suitability to the
organisation;
regular and long-term contact between employers and
divisional staff has a beneficial influence on course design
and teaching methods;
the student promotes the image of the employer's
organisation at Swinburne.
