Develop your architecture skills in a professional setting

The Architecture Internship Program is an opportunity to apply your academic learning in a professional workplace. Over 12 weeks, you'll gain first-hand exposure to design and project processes, improve your technical skills and build confidence interning as part of an architectural team.

Why choose CareerDC's internship program?

CareerDC coordinates the internship placement for you from start to finish. You will get to:

• Apply your studies in real projects
  Depending on your host company, you may work on tasks such as drafting, 3D modelling, interior design, or architectural graphics using tools like AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Lumion or Photoshop.
• Learn how the architecture industry operates
  From concept development through to documentation and delivery, you'll gain insight into the full workflow of architectural practice. You'll also build familiarity with building codes, planning procedures and client-focused processes.
• Develop technical and professional skills
  In addition to getting technical experience, you'll grow essential workplace skills such as teamwork, adaptability and communication while collaborating with experienced architects and designers.

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
  If you have already graduated, you may be able to take part by combining your placement with a WIL program.
