A message from
the Vice-Chancellor
Martin Bean
At RMIT we focus on giving everyone the chance to be their best, shape their future
and belong.
That’s what our Ready for Life and Work strategy is all about and thanks to the passion
of our extraordinary people we’re making it a reality.
We exist to prepare our students for workplaces that are rapidly evolving and we play
a part in shaping a changing world.
It began in 1887 when Francis Ormond had a vision for helping workers acquire real-world
skills. The people of Melbourne matched his enthusiasm to start a very practical place of
learning where students would leave ready for employment.
We still live this vision today – but now on a global scale.
RMIT has been part of every new development in work and industry since our inception.
As society and the economy have become more sophisticated and complex, RMIT has
grown and changed alongside.
Now, we’re a global university of design, technology and enterprise, with more than 93,000
students and 10,000 amazing teachers and staff who proudly live and breathe
our purpose every day.
We’re passionate about the communities we’re part of and we’re driven to make a
purposeful contribution.
We shape the world with our research and impactful partnerships with industry, government
and enterprise.
We provide life-changing experiences when we give our students their first, second or even
third opportunity to prepare for the world of work they aspire to.
Today, more than ever, the transformational power of education is lifelong, generations deep
and worldwide.
The one certainty is more and greater change in every industry and every location.
So with the world unlike it’s ever been before, we’re focused on ensuring our students
are ready for life and work, whatever form that takes.
At RMIT, as we look to 2021 and beyond, we’re excited about the possibilities.
