IBL & Industry

Job experience counts for a lot. Swinburne’s Industry-Based Learning program gives you real-world experience in your second or third year of study.

Each year the Faculty of Higher Education Lilydale places approximately 40 students from  21 degree programs into IBL positions. IBL is an ideal way to make you stand out in the graduate employment market.  

Benefits of being an IBL student include:

  • IBL is a paid position. You will be paid approximately 70% of a graduate wage  
  • The position can help determine whether you will enjoy working in your chosen career
  • Often have a higher starting salary and higher level responsibilities in their first graduate job
  • Establishing networks to gain full time work with your IBL employer after you graduate– employers recognise IBL as a great way to recruit staff
  • Growth in maturity and confidence
  • Generic skills that are transferable between positions and industries that can’t be learned at university
