Step Up Into Teaching (SUiT) is an Australian Catholic University (ACU) early entry program. It provides Year 11 students considering a career in teaching the opportunity to:
Experience learning in a university environment.
Study two University-level units while completing their school studies.
Qualify to receive a conditional offer to study a Bachelor of Education degree at ACU.
