Partner with the School of Future Environments

Many AUT degrees include work integrated learning, a chance for students to complete workplace experience in an industry organisation, apply what they’ve learnt in the classroom and make valuable industry connections.

Workplace experience and mentoring enables organisations to build valuable relationships with students as potential employees, while supporting students’ development.

Placements benefit both the employer and the student – your organisation can get help on a project, while students gain relevant experience and credits toward their programme of study.
