Share Your Knowledge

You can share your knowledge with our students by participating in these programs:

Infinity Leadership Program (ILP)
ILP provides an opportunity for students to utilise and develop their knowledge of leadership and to extend their skills and experiences by putting leadership into practice. The program invites community leaders to deliver presentations and seminars to our aspiring leaders at our Leadership Conference (held in February each year) and through our leadership seminars. This 12 month program also involves students working on a Leadership in Action project where leadership and teamwork skills are challenged and developed. If you have a project you would like to propose or sponsor; or you would like further information on how your organisation can become involved please email leadership@latrobe.edu.au.
Student Career Mentoring Program
The Student Career Mentoring program allows mentors to enrich the lives of La Trobe University students and recent graduates by sharing experiences and assisting in their career development. Our current career mentors come from a wide range of professional backgrounds and industries and are matched with a mentee who has similar career interests. By sharing your knowledge you are also accessing a range of mentor development activities for your own professional development.
Career MasterClass workshops
The Career Development Centre runs a number of 'Career MasterClass' workshops each semester. The workshops cover topics such as resumes and cover letters, job applications, psychometric testing and assessment centres, interviews, and networking.
La Trobe Award
Engaging our students in a volunteering activity can give you access to energetic, creative and well prepared individuals who are ready to make a difference to your organisation. Many of our students are keen to be involved in off campus volunteer activities for community welfare and other not for profit organisations. The La Trobe Award recognises the valuable contribution that these students make to their local communities. Combined with the volunteer hours that they perform, students are able to undertake high quality free training modules (such as Leadership, Motivating Others and Conflict Management), which help to enhance their employability skills.
Work Placement Program
Work Placement Program (WPP) provides employers with opportunities to offer short-term projects to students who have developed relevant knowledge and skills through their studies; have a student join an existing team for a short period of time to contribute to a current project; showcase the organisation to potential employees and highlight opportunities available to new graduates; develop staff mentoring and supervisory skills; and network with students who will be looking for professional positions within the next few years.
Work Integrated Learning
Work Integrated Learning programs offer a range of approaches within a purposefully designed curriculum to enable students to integrate theory with practice in the work environment. If your organisation would like to participate in student placements via our Work Integrated Learning programs please contact the staff in the areas relevant to your organisations interests.
