N2 - This paper presents a descriptive case study of a unit embedding an innovative pedagogical approach that incorporates industry-collaboration interventions of different extent to work towards the goal of improving graduate skills and creating industry-ready graduates at the University of Canberra. In collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the largest Cloud providers, the Enterprise and Cloud Computing unit experimented with embedding industry-developed content in one of the units. The approach demonstrates that incorporating education, industry-relevant active learning, and certification will help enhancing student learning experience, improving graduate skills, preparing our students for success in the job market, and increasing employability. It is an example for higher education academics of a transferable approach for designing effective programs for other popular Information Technology (IT) specialisations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science, and disciplines collaborating with industry.
