What if you could earn a full-time income while you studied?

You could pursue a path you’re passionate about – without sacrificing paid working hours.

You could gain the skills to change careers – without giving up family time.

You could achieve the goals you’ve been aiming for – but wondering how to make happen.

Earn and Learn makes it possible.

The program enables you to work full-time at any council in Victoria, while gaining a nationally recognised qualification from RMIT University, Swinburne University, Victoria University or Federation University.

It’s being offered at an exciting time to work in local government.

Our cities are expanding.

Our workforce is transforming.

Our communities are changing.

Earn and Learn helps our councils fill employee shortages in fields that support these developments.

Fields like building and surveying, urban planning, IT, civil engineering and finance.

That means Earn and Learn is more than a blend of work and study – it’s a way for you to secure a career path with longevity, growth opportunities and support in council.

While you study, you’ll be backed to succeed through potential access to tuition fee funding, flexible work and study arrangements, pathways to further study, career mentoring, and services that reduce the barriers you face.
