Internships and experiential learning
Faculty of Arts and Education
An Internship refers to a partial training arrangement with an organisation based in Australia or overseas. It has specific outcomes attached to it for the student's course and skill development and involves meeting pre-requisite requirements and an application process.
An Internship is not simply "work experience". Each placement is carefully and individually planned by staff within the Faculty, and overseen by a dedicated academic supervisor. The Internship culminates with a written report, which is combined with specific tasks monitored by a supervisor in the workplace.
At the conclusion of an Internship, the student will have acquired new skills and have a broader knowledge base, which will benefit their future career pursuits. Students with some industry experience gain important personal skills such as flexibility, awareness, maturity, tolerance and other specific workplace skills.
These opportunities provide graduates with a significant competitive edge in the job market.
