Domestic, Virtual and Global Internships
Domestic internships
Domestic internships take place within an Australia based organisation and provide students with an opportunity to participate in either specific internship projects, or the daily activities of the organisation. This offers students an opportunity to learn how to work in the industry, be a part of professional teams and undertake real industry challenges.
Virtual internships
Virtual internships offer students the same opportunity to experience the inter-workings of a provider organisation but from a remote setting. Unlike domestic opportunities, there will be no expectation of turning up to an office or work-site each day, as the majority of interactions will be completed virtually.
Global internships
Global internships provide students with the opportunity to gain practical exposure to a professional environment in an international setting. Students can experience the benefits of enhancing their employability by interning and living abroad.
