RMIT Partnership Launches the Next Generation of Leaders

On Thursday, 28 August 2025, The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) became the second university to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). In partnership with CareerTrackers and representing a shared commitment to creating career pathways and cultural connection for First Nations students.

The announcement was made by Professor Gary Thomas – Pro Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Education, Research and Engagement.

The MOU builds on RMIT's long-standing commitment to excellence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education. By working with the community to create lasting impact.

Through this formal partnership, RMIT and CareerTrackers are setting the platform. That not only supports First Nations students to succeed today. But also ensures more Indigenous professionals step into leadership roles tomorrow.
