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. On top of their salary, Nexus students also benefit from 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 both Victoria and New Soutth Wales.
Nexus is delivered as part of the High Achieving Teachers Program with the support of the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment as part of its investment in Initial Teacher Education.
