What Is an Internship in Australia
The internship programs we coordinate in Australia are vocational placements. An internship program with a placement usually runs for 12 weeks.
The internship gives the intern exposure to the industry of their studies. It’s often the very first time the student intern gets practical and hands-on experience in a real work environment.
The internship we facilitate for both international and domestic students in Australia carry academic credit and form part of the student's degree.
Students who want to intern but don’t have an internship component in their degree can do a placement through the WIL Program as can new graduates.
