STUDY AND WORK is a unique internship and recruitment agency that has successfully tapped into the skills of students and graduates to meet the staffing needs of Australian employers, cost-effectively and efficiently.

Since 2007, we have been helping thousands of students and graduates secure career outcomes that were previously unattainable through their own efforts. Our career management and recruitment programs offer aspiring graduates a rare opportunity to facilitate their transition from study to a successful career. While most recruitment agencies say NO to job applications from inexperienced candidates, we say WHY NOT? We and our valued clients go by the “Hire for Attitude, Train for Skills” philosophy. Raw Talent + Awesome Attitude, in a new staff, usually prove to be a more dynamic attribute combination than Highly Experienced + Attitude Problem.

We believe that we provide the best career advice and job placement services to our candidates, to help them enter the job market. We make sure that they always get the best out of the opportunity we facilitate for them, resulting in multitudes of success stories.

You will be placed in a temporary graduate role in one of our reputable host companies, which could lead to a rewarding permanent graduate role based on your job performance and their ongoing staffing needs.

Our Graduate Placement Program offers you an exciting opportunity to:

• get your foot in the door of a hosting company that provides a supportive learning environment,
• prove your skills to convince the host company for a permanent role, 
• get paid a decent salary while learning, and
• fast-track your career by climbing the corporate ladder.

You will benefit in the following ways:

• Choose the employer - You get to interview with the host company and see if the opportunity suits you.
• Secure the job offer - If successful in the interview, we will employ you and hire out to the host company on a short or long-term contract role. 
• Get paid what you are worth - You will be paid a salary of $27 to $37 per hour depending on your skill set.

We can help you get over your frustration due to the paradoxical situation: “You need a job to get experience and you need the experience to get a job.” Most employers want to hire candidates with work experience who can hit the ground running. If you want to secure that job you desperately want and deserve, you must gain the relevant work experience you need, and market your skills to potential employers directly. Our internship program will help you enter the door of a potential employer by bypassing the tough competition in the job market.

How does Professional Internship Program work?

You will be placed in a reputable host company for 12 weeks of supervised work experience, where you will get a precious opportunity to: 

• gain professional work experience and on-the-job-training, 
• be familiar with the Australian work culture and industry practices, 
• gain confidence and industry knowledge required to hit the job market with a competitive advantage, and 
• prove your worth to a potential employer to secure a job offer. 

Will the internship be paid or unpaid?

Unfortunately, most of the internships are unpaid. However, if you possess some relevant Australian work experience already, you may be able to persuade the host company during the interview that you are the best person for the job and hence secure a paid internship. In case of not having any relevant Australian work experience, your internship will be unpaid, but you may receive an allowance or prize money at the end of your tenure. During your time with the company, you have the opportunity to prove your worth and secure a job offer.

Can I claim academic credits?

If you want the work experience gained during the internship to meet the academic credits, we can customise our internship program to meet your specific academic requirements. We will ensure that you receive the on-the-job training compatible with your course objectives.
