Associate Ormond College

The Associate Ormond College [AOC] is a program of micro-credentials that equips students with the enterprise skills required in our rapidly changing workplace. The AOC prepares students for their careers by developing the personal qualities and practical knowledge needed to succeed professionally. The program also encompasses a range of important attributes and competencies that complement Ormond students’ University degrees.

Australia is undergoing the most significant disruption in the world of work since the industrial revolution, and how we respond has huge implications for the next generation.

The AOC program is delivered in small groups and is “hands-on’, face to face learning. This distinguishes it from many other employment skills programs that are largely online or lecture based. The AOC enriches participants with applicable, practical skills while also being interactive, fun, and a great way to meet other students at the College. Ormond is leading the way in offering such a high quality and comprehensive employability skills program.

AOC Badges

These badges ensure that Ormond students stand out as well-rounded candidates when looking for that all important career start. Potential employers can see (via the digital badges’ hyperlink to subject descriptors) the specific abilities that a candidate has acquired through the AOC.
