What is the Career Ready Award?

The Career Ready Award (CRA) is RMIT’s structured, tiered badging program designed to help students build career confidence, professional skills, and real-world experience alongside their academic studies.

The award provides a clear roadmap to becoming work ready. Through career events, experiential learning, reflection, and real workplace exposure, students graduate with more than a qualification: they graduate with evidence of their skills, experience, and professional growth.

Open to all undergraduate and postgraduate students across disciplines and campuses, the award recognises both structured learning and practical experience.

The full award represents approximately 100 hours of career development engagement, completed flexibly over the duration of a student's degree.
