You’re working towards a career in one of Victoria’s most sought-after industries. So are thousands of other students, many with similar study behind them, similar casual jobs on their CVs and their eye on the same internships, cadetships and early-career opportunities. The question is, what are you doing alongside your studies that will make an employer remember you?
If you’re already asking yourself what else you could be doing to get ahead, you’re our kind of student. Read on…

The race starts long before graduation.
Think you’ve got until the end of your studies to worry about getting industry experience? You don’t.
The students getting their foot in the door aren’t waiting until they finish. So why are you?
The earlier you start building practical skills, industry knowledge and relevant experience, the more you have to bring to the table against the thousands of others going for the same opportunities. Get out of retail and hospitality, and into the field you actually want to work in.
Get into industry earlier, so by the time everyone else starts applying, you’re already experienced.

So, how can
ConnectEd help?
We connect you with practical training that fits around your studies, with one goal: helping you get working in your industry sooner.
We talk through your options
We start with a one-on-one chat about what you’re studying, where you want to go and which opportunities could genuinely add value.
We find training that fits around university
This isn’t about piling more onto an already busy workload. We structure opportunities around student life so you can focus on one thing at a time. We get it. You’re busy.
We introduce you to RTOs we trust
We’ve spent more than eight years working between RTOs and universities across Victoria. If we recommend a training provider, it’s because we know them, know their delivery and believe they’re a good fit.
We know the university world
Our long-standing relationships with universities across Victoria mean we understand how students study, when the pressure points are and why anything extra needs to complement your studies, not distract from them.
We keep the end goal in sight
Everything we recommend has a purpose: building practical skills, strengthening your CV and putting you in a better position when relevant work opportunities come up.
8 years. 1,000+ students. Tried, tested and built around university life.
The ConnectEd way
Come as you are and pick our brains. There’s no pressure and no chasing. If we don’t think something is right for you, we’ll say so, and we expect you to do the same.
1. Let’s talk
Tell us what you’re studying, where you want to head and what you’d love to be doing sooner. Ask questions, throw ideas around and let’s see what makes sense.
2. We find the right fit
We’ll talk through the options that suit your goals, workload and timing. If we’re onto something, we’ll send you more information to digest, give you space to think it over and take it from there.
3. We introduce you to people we trust
We work with a small number of RTOs that share our vision around practical skills, quality training and giving students more.
4. We stay close
You’ll have a direct line to Liv throughout. Questions, doubts, updates, wins, whatever comes up, you can always reach out and have a chat.
