Internships have multiple benefits. You get a team member who is eager to practice their new skills while you use student recruitment to contribute to the development of the next generation of professionals in your field.
Express your interest to host an intern
Deakin’s curriculum is informed by our world-class research, so our students can bring a new and fresh approach to your projects. They are eager to learn and gain real-world experience to help them in their career journey.
Hosting a Deakin student on an internship with your organisation is an effective way to identify talent and create a recruitment pipeline. If you are an employer looking to engage with the next generation of industry professionals, we can help.
Work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences can be paid or unpaid if part of a WIL unit, with unpaid work limited by the Fair Work Act. Paid internships are encouraged to attract students who may need to take time off from other employment.
Our courses offer practical, industry-relevant learning that ensures our students are ready for the workforce. Our students are dedicated to innovation and a sustainable future for our communities. They are up-to-date specialists in their field, and have key employability skills such as communication, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork and self-management.
The students we hired have been exceptional. Our appointed graduates have been appropriately skilled, passionate about their work, and committed to learn new things and succeed. They have all displayed fantastic people skills, business manners and transferable skills.
