Our partnerships

The Institute is strategically committed to engage in partnerships and formal understandings with other TAFE Institutes, registered training organisations (RTOs), and higher education providers. This opens the way for learners to use credits from their TAFE qualifications towards a degree, and in some instances, guarantees entry to a university degree course.

This means that graduates from Wodonga Institute have a head-start in their careers, starting work in industry while they complete their university degrees.
