About Nexus
Nexus is an innovative and first-of-its-kind pathway into teaching, that enables people to transition from other careers, while gaining practical experience in a school setting.
Nexus students take part in our eighteen-month accelerated or two-year Master of Teaching (Secondary) or Master of Teaching (Primary), whilst undertaking paid employment in schools (part-time in first year and full-time in second year). On top of their salary, Nexus students also benefit from up to $14,900 in financial support.
The Nexus program also offers a close community of practice including academic support, school mentors and professional development in social justice areas.
We work in partnership with schools and local communities to help train teachers for economically, culturally diverse and hard-to-staff schools in Victoria. The program has also expanded into primary schools in NSW.
Nexus is delivered as part of the High Achieving Teachers Program with the support of the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment and the Victorian Government Department of Education and Training as part of its investment in Initial Teacher Education.
