Industry-Academia Collaboration

Project Elevate

A structured pathway that takes university students from classroom theory to production-grade engineering. Mentored tracks in AI, data, cloud, cybersecurity and software engineering — delivered by engineers working on live systems, in partnership with your institution.

6 Program categories spanning 20+ specialist tracks
4 Learning modes, including on-campus and fully online
1:1 Mentoring from practising engineers, not trainers

What Project Elevate gives you

Elevate is built around the four pillars of our industry-academia practice — training, internships, mentoring and research. Every student follows a track that combines all four rather than a single isolated course.

Specialist tracks

Choose from AI & machine learning, data & analytics, cloud & DevOps, cybersecurity, software engineering, or emerging tech and research.

Practitioner mentoring

Regular one-to-one sessions with engineers who ship production systems, covering code review, architecture decisions and career direction.

Real project work

Capstone deliverables modelled on live enterprise problems, assessed the way professional work is assessed — not graded like an assignment.

Internship pathway

Strong performers are considered for mentored internships with our partner engineering teams, with deliverables you can show an employer.

Research support

Guidance for students pursuing applied research, including problem framing, prototype validation and publication readiness.

Institutional backing

Your application is verified and endorsed by your university's Single Point of Contact, so the program complements your degree rather than competing with it.
