CareerDC charges a coordination fee for each internship program. The service includes a tailored CV update, interview coaching, host company matching, interview coordination and scheduling, access to host company interviews until placement is achieved, a work experience placement matched to your studies, academic credit (as applicable) or an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course (if required) and a certificate of completion at the end of the internship experience.

Develop your architecture skills in a professional setting

The Architecture Internship Program gives you the opportunity to apply your academic learning in a professional workplace. Over 12 weeks, you'll gain first-hand exposure to a range of architecture tasks which will help you develop work-readiness after graduation.

Who can apply?

• University students in Australia
  If you're currently enrolled in an architecture or design-related degree, this program can help you meet your placement requirement while gaining experience in the Australian architecture industry.
• New graduates and students without a placement requirement
  If your course does not include an internship component, or you have recently graduated, you may still be able to take part by combining your placement with an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program.

On Host Companies and Learning Experiences

Your 12-week internship will be coordinated to align with your academic background, skills development goals, preferred location and availability. Example host companies include:

• A registered architectural practice delivering services in both architecture and interior design
• A residential architecture firm specialising in custom homes and functional living spaces
• A multi-sector architectural team leading projects in housing, commercial developments, and multi-residential buildings

Your specific work experience tasks will depend on your host company but could include:

• Familiarising yourself with planning procedures, building codes, and day-to-day architectural workflows
• Assisting with 3D rendering, drafting, visualisations, and documentation
• Supporting design presentations, procurement processes, and client-focused deliverables
