An Industry Placement Partner for Universities: At a Glance
Universities are weaving more industry experience into their courses, but scaling placements across faculties can put pressure on internal resources.
CareerDC acts as an external industry placement partner for universities and other higher education providers.
We coordinate industry experience programs, capstone projects and other work integrated learning (WIL) programs with host organisations, while your academic team maintains academic supervision and assessment.
Our team and our industry placement programs support:
Careers teams and career development officers
University employability development services
Industry experience and experiential learning teams
Faculty program directors
Academic placement coordinators
Higher education students in need of degree-relevant work experience placements
Strengthening Graduate Employability Through Industry Partnership
Industry placement programs play an important role in supporting graduate employability outcomes.
It’s crucial to integrate hands-on workplace exposure and learning into students’ tertiary education journeys.
Benefits of Industry Placement Partnerships with CareerDC
CareerDC supports the design and coordination of industry experience programs that give students practical exposure to real workplace environments.
These programs complement academic study and allow students to apply their knowledge in professional settings and pick up practical skills needed in any real workplace while completing their degrees.
Your CareerDC partnership manager will closely consult with you and your organisation whilst developing suitable internship programs and capstone projects for your students.
CareerDC will be your agent and connection to the work integrated learning host company. We will organise professional supervision for the duration of the industry placement experience and look after the required paperwork whilst your organisation will arrange for academic supervision during the course of the project.
Partnership with CareerDC offers your higher education students a pathway that leads them to practical industry experiences with host companies.
