Student testimonials
Working with DFATS was an invaluable experience that has helped me to develop my professional self and confidence whilst providing me with a great insight into this industry as a career path post-graduation. I got to meet a fantastic team of people who took their time to welcome me and include me. This experience provided me with a network of contacts that I will not have gained otherwise, and I have been called up post internship to apply for a new casual role coming up.

My internship with Deakin Technical Group was an incredible experience that quite literally changed my life (without being overly dramatic). The skills that I was able to bring to the job, as well as the incredible and supportive team environment that I found myself in during my internship, resulted in me gaining casual employment with the business immediately after my internship ended. This experience has opened doors for me that I didn't realise were unlocked for me prior to undertaking it.
