RMIT University is inviting industry partners to participate in its expanded Earn and Learn programs – an opportunity to recruit and develop the next generation of engineers while strengthening your workforce.
GMC was pleased to support the establishment of a new pilot program developed by RMIT University aimed at tackling a key challenge facing Australia’s manufacturing and engineering sectors: finding skilled, job-ready graduates.
The Degree Apprenticeship Program was launched in 2025 with a very successful cohort of Apprentice Engineers working across a range of our industry partners. Due to this success they are expanding the program to other companies and engineering disciplines in 2026.
Mechanical Engineering Degree Apprenticeship (5 years):
Recruit your own Apprentice Engineer – either a secondary school leaver or a staff member you wish to up-skill – who will work with you while completing an Engineers Australia certified degree.
Electrical Engineering Industry Degree Pilot (2 years):
Recruit 3rd-year Electrical Engineering students, who will combine their studies with practical work experience in your business.
