Collaborate with RMIT

Collaborate with RMIT students to inspire future leaders while gaining fresh insights and access to top emerging talent.

Collaboration opportunities

From providing online student projects and taking on interns to delivering online guest lectures, you can help to create transformative experiences for RMIT students in Australia, Vietnam and our other global locations while accessing student talent, developing your coaching and leadership skills, and growing your professional networks.  

Provide an online industry project

Take advantage of fresh perspectives and innovative solutions by inviting RMIT students to collaborate on an online project. You can access top student talent as well as world-class facilities to help solve business problems, explore new opportunities or deliver social impact.

Online projects come at no cost to your organisation and our students can deliver a diverse range of outcomes, such as solving a business challenge, working on a process review or improvement, developing an app or other tech solution, or preparing a business plan or campaign – and more!

How does it work?

  1. Identify a business challenge you have that needs solving.
  2. Refer to our Global Student Talent pack to check which RMIT disciplines are requesting projects aligned with your challenge.
  3. Submit a project proposal via the links in the pack.
  4. We connect with you an RMIT course coordinator to discuss the project and ensure that both your business needs and those of the course are met.
  5. Your organisation, the student and RMIT will sign a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Agreement before the project begins. 
  6. Students will get to work on your project – usually in small teams and meeting with you online weekly or at regular, pre-determined intervals. Projects usually take place over 4-12 weeks.
  7. The deliverable will be presented at the end of the project timeline.

Take on an intern

Internships offer cost effective and flexible resourcing to support your business goals, as well as direct access to the next generation of workers. It also provides you with a unique opportunity for professional development through mentoring and guiding a student.

RMIT encourages partner organisations to pay students an award wage, however it’s at a host's discretion to decide on the suitable remuneration – advice is available from RMIT.

How does it work?

  1. Refer to our Global Student Talent pack to check which RMIT disciplines are requesting internships. 
  2. Submit a internship position via the links in the pack.
  3. We connect you with an RMIT course coordinator to discuss the internship requirements and ensure that both your business needs and those of the course are met.
  4. Once you decide to host an intern, the process begins. Our team and the course coordinator will circulate your position to students. Students then apply directly to you, and you carry out your own selection process.
  5. Your organisation, the student and RMIT will sign a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Agreement before any internship begins. Your nominated workplace supervisor will orientate the student, provide ongoing performance feedback and liaise with the student’s course coordinator at RMIT if required.

Deliver an online industry guest lecture

Promote your business and share your ideas and expertise in an online guest lecture for students. Connect with future talent and academic experts while providing real-word insights and inspiration for the next generation of professionals.

The format can be anything from a 15 minute Q&A with students (facilitated by the course coordinator) through to a 30 minute presentation, pre-recorded or live.

How does it work?

  1. We connect you with an RMIT course coordinator in your field to discuss the course content and how can you contribute through your industry expertise. During this online meeting, we’ll also agree on the format, timing and date of the guest lecture.
  2. You provide the guest lecture as per the agreed timeline.
  3. You’ll connect with RMIT students and academics while complementing RMIT curriculum with your perspectives.

Support student scholarships

Overseas travel can be life-changing for students, giving them new perspectives on their own country and enabling them to engage deeply with other cultures – but the cost can prevent many students from having this transformational experience.

By making a gift to the RMIT Europe Travel Scholarship Fund, you can help students without the financial means to study or work abroad spend time in the UK, Germany, Spain or France. 

How does it work?

  1. Visit RMIT Giving to learn about the impact of scholarships and the different ways in which you can support disadvantaged students, or
  2. Give directly to the RMIT Europe Travel Scholarship Fund
