Melbourne Polytechnic offers a wide range of work education courses each tailored to suit different needs.

Our work education courses are tailored to help you prepare for further study or employment. Find your path and build relevant skills in a non-competitive environment, learning both in the classroom and on the job through work placement opportunities.

Choose from a general stream or specialised pathways into hospitality, hair and beauty, garden, creative industries and more. Our passionate, experienced teachers can help set you up for the future and respond to a continually changing world.

Our class sizes are limited to ensure you receive personal attention and an individualised learning pathway.
