Educational Partnerships Program
La Trobe University works collaboratively with schools through our Educational Partnerships program.
Educational Partnerships is an equity and education-centred program which forms meaningful partnerships with schools and community groups and develops tailored programs of outreach designed to meet the needs of each cohort. We aim to familiarise participants of diverse backgrounds with higher education; inform their aspirations to access and participate in higher education and build their confidence to achieve through academic and study discipline immersion.
We have established partnerships with selected equity schools close to La Trobe University’s five Victorian campuses. Please note that participation in the program is subject to resourcing capacity and equity criteria. Please contact us for further information.
Student engagement activities
The Educational Partnerships program offers a variety of engaging, interactive student experiences both on campus and within the school context. The program and its workshops align to 3 learning objectives: University-style learning; Pathways knowledge; and University Culture. Offerings range from short workshops through to full day campus visits and study discipline immersion days.
