CareerDC charges a coordination fee for each internship program. The service includes a tailored CV update, interview preparation, access to host company interviews, a work experience placement aligned with your engineering major, an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course if required and a letter of completion at the end of your internship.

Experience Engineering Tasks First Hand

The 12-week engineering internship program is designed for students and graduates who want to experience engineering in real workplace environments and who want practical work experience. The internship is an opportunity to develop both technical abilities and workplace confidence while gaining insights into how the profession operates in practice.

Why join this program?

Be exposed to real engineering tasks
Depending on your major and host company, you could get involved in design modelling, prototype development, systems testing or data analysis depending on the host company's projects.

Develop a balanced skill set
In addition to developing your technical know-how, you'll build essential skills in collaboration, communication and organisation.

Who can apply?

University students in Australia
If you are an international or local student studying engineering at an Australian university or college, this program can help you complete your placement requirement and gain professional experience.

New graduates and students without a placement requirement
If your course does not include an internship requirement or you have already finished your studies, you can still take part through a WIL program designed to add structure and academic value to your work experience placement.
