Innovative Leadership Training at Swinburne
View(s):
With a rich history of over 100 years, Swinburne University continues to be a leader in the fields of science, technology and innovation, producing cutting edge research and outstanding industry-oriented graduates each year.
Leadership Training with Local Giants
Swinburne is committed to providing industry related training as part of the education, helping the students gather on the job knowledge as well as invaluable experience.
In this regard, Swinburne is proud to announce a new partnership with Master Builders, Australia.
Swinburne students will have access to the only management and leadership simulator facility in the southern hemisphere through the new partnership. Students will have an unparalleled opportunity to practice and apply their skills in a simulated – but realistic – work site.
“Students are given scenarios to work through with real people acting out the parts of their colleagues. The scenarios are live and we can tweak them in real time to test the students, for example, adding in a phone call from an angry CEO,” Professor Holland says.
“The benefit of the centre is that it mimics real-life situations students will face in their careers. How much more real can it get than being in a situation where you’re interacting with real people to solve problems?”
Professor Holland says students will be able to identify their leadership styles, strengths and weaknesses before entering the workforce and will deal with issues that can’t be learned in a classroom.
“Students who go through the simulation can confidently say they have experience with managing the issues they faced. People are often put into management positions with little hands-on experience, but at the end of the day, management is a ‘doing’ subject.”
Highly rated & world-ranked
Swinburne University has been named amongst the top research-intensive universities in the world according to a number of prestigious world academic ranking lists. Swinburne is ranked among the world’s top 3% universities in the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). It has also been highly rated by the Good Universities Guide, in the educational experience category, including teaching quality and generic (employability) skills.
The continuous high ranks achieved by the university is a commitment to the quality of education and the research mandate achieved.
