The Australian Collaborative Education Network (ACEN) is the national professional association for work-integrated learning (WIL). It is our vision to strategically influence, advance, and advocate for quality, innovative, impactful, and inclusive WIL through collaboration and partnership with educators, community, industry, and government. The 2023 – 2025 Strategic Plan is now available.

ACEN has responded to the Accord Discussion Paper which included a series of prompt questions to stimulate discussion on how stakeholders can shape higher education to meet future needs. 

ACEN have once again partnered with Pagoda Projects to offer 7 Global Online Internships which enable eligible students from equity groups to access a diverse range of work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. The Scholarship program is part of ACEN’s mission to promote quality and inclusive WIL for all in collaboration with industry partners.
