Work with potential graduate recruits
Our work-integrated learning (WIL) programs bring students into your organisation to take part in internships, consulting programs and business development clinics. Our students come from a range of business and law courses and our programs suit many types of organisations and business needs.
The students turned up with a nine-page report that was a full-blown analysis of one of our business model and profit drivers. I was really impressed.

Boost your brand with our talented students
If you’re an alum, engaging with our students through our student societies is a great way to pass on the benefits of your professional experience. For employers, we can facilitate events for students to connect with you. For example, our long-standing Deakin Bowater Business Challenge offers a way to tap into fresh solutions as competing teams of students tackle your business issue.
These talented students have researched and tested potential solutions that will provide us with the insight we need to accommodate more electric vehicles on our network.
