Swinburne has been partnering with the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) on the Engineering Pathway Industry Cadetship (EPIC) program since its inception in 2020

EPIC helps refugee engineers gain international qualifications for the Australian workforce through an 18-month paid cadetship program

The program provides on-the-job training, mentorship, and a Graduate Certificate in Infrastructure Engineering Management from Swinburne.

The Engineering Pathway Industry Cadetship (EPIC) program, of which Swinburne has been a key partner of since its inception in 2020, is a testament to the power of collaboration between academia, government, and industry. Refugee engineers often face significant challenges in having their international qualifications recognised and gaining local work experience.

EPIC, which is a Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) initiative, addresses these issues by providing an 18-month paid cadetship that includes on-the-job training, mentorship, and the opportunity to earn a Graduate Certificate in Infrastructure Engineering Management from Swinburne.
