Get practical data experience in an Australian workplace

The Data Science and Analytics Internship Program is designed for students and graduates who want to strengthen their technical knowledge and gain industry exposure through a structured 12-week placement. It’s open to international and local students based in Australia who want to build confidence and real experience before starting their career.

Why choose this internship program?

• Apply your studies to real projects
  Work on tasks such as data analysis, visualisation, or modelling. Depending on your host company, you might use tools such as Power BI, Python, R, SQL, or Excel to support decision-making, reporting, and process improvements.
• Learn how data drives industries
  Gain exposure to the many ways data is applied across business functions. This could include workforce development, finance, risk analysis, customer insights, or process optimisation, depending on your host company.
• Develop professional skills
  Alongside technical learning, you’ll build skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and workplace communication. The experience will help strengthen your CV and give you confidence for future interviews.

Who can apply?

• University students in Australia
  If your degree includes an internship requirement, this program can help you meet it while gaining industry-relevant experience. Open to both international and domestic students studying in Australia.
• Recent graduates and students without a placement requirement
  If your course doesn’t include an internship requirement, or you’ve already graduated, you can still join the program by combining your placement with a WIL program.
