CareerDC charges a coordination fee for each internship program. The service includes a tailored CV update, interview preparation, arrangement and scheduling of host company interviews, a placement aligned with your studies, an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course if required, and support during your internship.

Build practical experience in information systems

This 12-week program gets you a placement with an Australian host company where you'll gain experience in tasks that reflect information systems roles. Designed for both students and new graduates, the program gets you to apply your learning, strengthen your technical skills, develop soft skills and gain insight into how businesses use information systems to improve performance.

Why choose this internship program?

Turn theory into workplace practice

Depending on your host company, you may assist with database management, process automation, business analysis, or application support, using tools such as SQL, Figma, or business intelligence platforms.

Develop a rounded professional skill set

In addition to technical experience, you'll gain confidence in analysing business systems, supporting project workflows, and communicating within teams, all of which are highly appreciated skills in the information systems field.

Improve your workplace readiness

As you intern alongside established professionals, you'll improve your adaptability, collaboration and problem-solving skills while contributing to real projects that impact business operations. The experience as a whole will equip you with skills that help you be more work-ready after graduation.

Who can apply?

University students in Australia
