Internship Host Companies

As an internship host company, your business can benefit greatly from the presence of a student intern whilst you give the intern a hands-on work experience opportunity.

Internship Information for Companies

An internship is a vocational work experience placement that gives a student practical industry experience relevant to their current or recent studies and their degree.

The aim of the internship is to give the student an opportunity to apply their university learning, develop their technical and soft skills and improve their employability.

As an internship host company, you, too, will benefit from the internship in a range of ways.

    Good Reasons to Host a CareerDC Intern

    CareerDC has been coordinating internship programs and placements since 2011.

    We assist you with the internship insurance documents provided by the university or by us.

    Internship Support

    CareerDC will be available and will mediate should any problems emerge during the internship.

    Becoming a Host Company

    How the Internship Program Works

    • Tell us about the internship role you can host. The role is then structured into an internship program.

    • We then organise an interview between you and a potential student intern.

    • You assess if the student is suitable. And you decide if you take the student for an internship or not.

    • If you accept the intern, we’ll get the required internship documents done.

    • If you don’t want to accept the student following the interview, we will put another student forward for your consideration.

    Internship Host Company Responsibilities

    Host Companies

    • Designate a supervisor to monitor and supervise the student during the internship.

    • Give training to the student intern at the start of the internship placement.

    • Provide the intern with a safe workplace that complies with WHS laws and regulations.

    • Sign the documents needed by the intern's education provider at the end of the internship.

    • Contact CareerDC without delay should you have questions or concerns.
