INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The majority of the internships that the Host Companies offer are unpaid.

Unpaid internships are legal in Australia if they are part of a vocational placement as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009, which is why we started the Work Readiness Program. Any unpaid internships or voluntary work that is not for a registered organisation is illegal and can result in legal action.

Please see the Fair Work Australia website for more information on the rules around work experience and internships.

Yes! Obtaining the internship is 100% guaranteed by the Internship Provider.

Over 60% of interns receive permanent job offers at their host company after completing their internship and approximately 90% of interns start working within their field of study within 4 months at the end of it. However, the Internship Providers do not guarantee employment at the end of the internship as part of the Program. This result depends on many factors, including the performance of the intern during the internship.

You can improve your chances of receiving a job offer at the end of your internship by learning as much as you can about the business and the industry, working hard, demonstrating your abilities and skills, establishing professional contacts, and continuing to develop your knowledge and skills throughout your internship. your time with the host company.

Absolutely!

If you are planning to do an internship for credit points, you will require official university documents outlining the course credit requirements. It is best to speak to your course advisor or the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) team at your university beforehand, as each university has different requirements for internship subjects.

The WIL Program is different from the Internship Program. If you wish to receive more information about the WIL Program, write to us at [email protected] or through the chatbox on the right-hand side of the screen.

Once you have notified the provider in writing, they will proceed with the reimbursement. Depending on the provider with which you are taking the program, the reimbursement method varies. An example is the following:

• If you leave before starting the Online Course, the refund will be for 75% of the total value to be paid to the provider.
• If it is after starting the Online Course, but before determining it, the refund will be for 50% of the total value to be paid to the supplier.
• If it is after finishing the Online Course, but before you are offered interviews with the Host Companies, the refund will be for 25% of the total value to be paid to the provider.
• If it is after you are offered interviews with the Host Companies, there will be no refund.

The virtual course that is part of the Internship Program has a maximum duration of 4 weeks and includes:

• Work effectively in a work environment.
• Apply basic communication skills.
• Interacting effectively with others at work.
• Contact Networks (Networking): how and why.

If your visa is about to expire and you have a genuine intention to renew it, you can join the program. In the same way, you can start the program if you are in Bridging Visa.

No. The Internship Program is not a means to apply for or extend your Visa in Australia.

Suppose the restriction of 40 hours per fortnight is imposed again. The internship is not considered a job by Australian Law. Therefore, the hours worked during an internship do not count according to the restrictions of the Student Visa.

No. We do not deliver the Internship Program directly. Latin Career Club will connect you with our partners, the Internship Program providers, so that you can start the process to start your internship.
