The service includes a tailored CV update, host company matching, interview preparation, interview coordination and scheduling, unlimited interviews to achieve a placement, a work experience placement relevant to your studies, academic credit or an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course as relevant and a certificate of completion at the end of the experience.

Build experience in the engineering profession

This 12-week internship program is designed for students and new graduates who want to explore the application of engineering in real workplace environments and who want to get hands-on work experience.

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 hands-on work experience.
• New graduates and students without a placement requirement
