Feedback from Partners
Experiences of University Partnerships
'Over the past four years HomeStart has used Strategic Partnerships to prepare management and staff to survive in this world of complex change.
An industry-tailored postgraduate management program has delivered far more than we ever anticipated. The Australian Human Resource Institute stated that HomeStart was one of few organisations in Australia that could truly lay claim to having a learning organisation. We now have 70% of all our staff involved in some form of tertiary education, started by the UniSA program.
So what is so special about a Strategic Partnerships program? For us it has given the message that we all have to learn to survive, and learn as a team focussing on real projects within our organisation. Our senior managers are much more effective at leading people. They have developed a very strong culture at HomeStart based around using technology to stay ahead of customer expectations.'

'The Australasian Mutuals Institute has been
working with UniSA Strategic Partnerships for ten years providing an avenue
for credit union and building society employees to study and learn together
across Australia using the online programs offered by UniSA.
We have received excellent feedback from various
credit union and building society employees about their experience of
studying with UniSA, the structure of the programs, the prompt follow-up to
any queries they have and the excellent help when initially returning to
study.
The team at UniSA Strategic Partnerships are well
organised and look after all the administrative and operational details so
we know our industry students are in experienced and capable hands.'

'In the current business environment Workskil needs
to constantly look for ways to expand and develop our managers to maintain
our competitive advantage. The unique learning process offered through UniSA
Strategic Partnerships, not only has been tailored to meet our specific
learning requirements but it has allowed our managers to participate in the
MBA and Leadership Development Program where they have further enhanced
their management skills and leadership qualities.
