INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Candidates participating in the Internship Program will not be paid. The internship is considered a vocational non-paid training period, which is the norm in Australia.

Unpaid internships are legal in Australia if they are part of a vocational placement as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009. 

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

If an intern does not succeed in each individual interview, they will have up to three interview opportunities in total.

An intern is considered unsuccessful in an interview if they receive a rejection from the host company.

While there is a positive track record for interns receiving permanent job offers at their host company (over 60%) and starting work within their field of study after the internship, the Internship Providers do not guarantee employment as part of the Program. The outcome depends on various factors, including the intern’s performance during the internship.

To increase the likelihood of receiving a job offer, it is advised to take proactive steps such as gaining comprehensive knowledge about the business and industry, working diligently, showcasing your abilities and skills, building professional networks, and continuously enhancing your knowledge and skills throughout your internship with the host company. These actions can significantly improve your chances of securing employment at the end of your internship.

Certainly!

If you are seeking an internship as part of your university course and need assistance, it’s important to have official university documents that outline the credit requirements for the internship. It is advisable to consult with your course advisor or the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) team at your university to understand the specific requirements for internship subjects, as they can vary between universities.

If you would like further information, please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or through the Chatbox on the right-hand side of the screen. We will be happy to provide you with more details.

If you choose to voluntarily withdraw from the program and terminate the agreement with the Internship Provider, they will keep the non-refundable application fee. However, you may be eligible for a refund of the Program Fees before Program Activation, which refers to the point when the Internship Program Supervisor is assigned to you and the internship advice and/or program negotiation begins.

It is strongly advised that you carefully read the Terms and Conditions of the Program for further details.

If you have a genuine intention to renew your expiring visa, you are eligible to join the program. Similarly, if you are currently on a Bridging Visa, you can also commence the program.

No, participating in an internship will not count towards your weekly working hour limit. According to Australian Law, an internship is not classified as a job. Therefore, the hours worked during an internship are not subject to the restrictions imposed by the Student Visa in terms of working hour limitations, even if the restriction of 48 hours per fortnight is reinstated.

No, we do not directly deliver the Internship Program. We will connect you with our partners, who are the providers of the Internship Program. They will guide you through the process of initiating your internship.

Yes, part-time professional internships are available. It is possible to study and intern simultaneously. These opportunities are specifically designed for candidates who are already in Australia on a Student Visa. If you hold a different visa and are interested in participating in a part-time program, please reach out to us for more information.

Candidates are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week for a minimum duration of 12 weeks. The specific days and/or hours of work will be determined during the placement negotiation process. For further details, please contact us.

Yes, it is possible to do a virtual internship.

The Virtual Internship Program provides students and professionals with the opportunity to gain work experience within an Australian company, all in a remote professional setting. Throughout the program, interns are supervised by a mentor and actively engage in real projects assigned by the host company across various fields and industries.

A virtual internship offers a fantastic platform to kickstart your career, enhance your skills, actively participate in real projects, and receive mentorship from experienced professionals. The best part is that it offers flexibility in terms of working hours.

Internships are offered in nearly all major cities in Australia, as well as in select regional areas.

It typically takes 3-4 months from the date of enrollment until the candidate starts their internship. This timeframe encompasses the entire process of finding a suitable internship opportunity.

What makes us and our partners different from other internship companies is our commitment to providing personalised and tailored internship experiences. We prioritise matching each candidate with the most suitable placement based on their interests, skills, and career goals. Our extensive network of reputable companies and organisations allows us to offer diverse and high-quality internship opportunities across various industries.

Furthermore, our partners focus on providing comprehensive support throughout the entire internship journey. Their dedicated team is readily available to assist participants with any questions, concerns, or challenges they may encounter.

The internship program is not limited to recent graduates only. It is suitable for individuals who have completed their bachelor’s degree or any tertiary qualification, regardless of when they graduated.

We welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences, including those who may have completed their degree some time ago. The program aims to provide valuable professional opportunities and development for individuals at various stages of their careers.

Having no prior experience in your field does not necessarily make you unattractive to a company for an internship.

Many companies understand that internships are a valuable opportunity for individuals or fresh graduates to gain practical experience and develop their skills. They often look for candidates who are enthusiastic, motivated, and willing to learn. While relevant experience can be beneficial, host companies also consider factors such as your academic background, transferable skills, and potential for growth. It is important to showcase your passion, willingness to learn, and commitment to making the most of the internship opportunity.

By highlighting your strengths and demonstrating a strong work ethic, you can still be a compelling candidate for an internship, even without prior experience in your field.

We do offer some paid internships; however, it is important to note that these opportunities are exceptional and are primarily available in the fields of Marketing, Human Resources, and Events Management.

The internship duration typically ranges from 12 to 26 weeks. We offer both full-time and part-time opportunities. For more detailed information on specific program durations, I recommend referring to the Program Price List section.

No, it is not necessary to be studying something directly related to the internship in order to participate. We welcome candidates from various academic backgrounds and consider their skills, interests, and potential for growth when matching them with suitable internship opportunities.

If you have already secured employment by the time the internship begins, please be aware that a refund policy applies.

The non-refundable application fee cannot be refunded (refer to the Program Price List section above). Regarding program fees, the following conditions apply:

• If internship negotiations have not yet commenced, a refund of 50% of the program fee is possible.
  Once internship program negotiations have commenced, 50% of the program fee will be either retained or payable to the Internship Provider.
• If payment of program fees has already begun, a refund of 50% of the program fee is possible if internship negotiations have commenced. If payment of program fees has not yet begun, a payment of 50% of the program fee is required where internship negotiations have commenced.
• If you have participated in one or more interviews, secured an internship, or the Host Company has signed the Training Agreement, 50% of the program fees will be retained by the Internship Program.

Please note that specific details regarding refunds and payments can be found in the program terms and conditions.

The Internship Program has a commendable 60% employability rate, meaning that a significant portion of participants successfully secure employment opportunities after completing their internships.

We and our partners take pride in this high employability rate, as it reflects the effectiveness of our program in equipping interns with valuable skills and experiences that make them attractive candidates in the job market.

Our focus on providing practical, hands-on training and exposure to real-world work environments helps interns develop the necessary competencies and industry knowledge sought by employers. By immersing themselves in professional settings and engaging in meaningful projects, interns gain the confidence and expertise that contribute to their employability and future career prospects.

We continuously strive to maintain and improve this employability rate, ensuring that our program continues to be a pathway to success for our interns.

To participate in the program, it is necessary to have a sufficient level of English proficiency to effectively carry out your responsibilities and work efficiently within the working environment.

The required evidence of English language level is an IELTS score of 6 or TOEFL score of 550. It is important to note that lacking sufficient English proficiency may restrict your learning potential and limit the opportunities available to you.

We recommend that applicants with limited English proficiency consider completing English Language Studies in Australia first before starting their internship to enhance their language skills.

Yes, it is indeed possible to receive university credit for the internship completed in Australia. Many interns have successfully fulfilled the practical requirement of their academic studies and obtained credit for their internships. If you wish to gain academic credit for your internship in Australia, please inform us.

To facilitate the credit process, we kindly request that applicants seeking credit for their academic studies provide all the required documentation provided by their university along with their application. The Internship Provider will collaborate with representatives from your university or college, if necessary, to ensure that all necessary academic documentation is completed and meets the required standards.
