Interns in Industry

Complete a business internship with a local eastern region business by participating in the Interns in Industry program (formerly known as the Whitehorse City Council's Tertiary Business Skills Program).

What is Interns in Industry?

Interns in Industry is an annual internship program run between July and September where students complete a business internship with a local eastern region business. Formerly known as the Whitehorse Tertiary Business Skills Program, an initiative of the Whitehorse City Council, this prestigious internship program has been running with Deakin Business School (DBS) for over ten years and has provided great learning experiences for hundreds of students.

Students will complete between 100-150 hours with an allocated business and the remaining hours will consist of student focused workshops and a networking awards night.

Who can apply?

This program is available to undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Business and Law, who will take the experience under the following units:

• Undergraduate: MWL303 Business Internship
• Postgraduate: MWL702 Business Practicum

It is your responsibility to ensure that taking a WIL unit contributes towards your course requirements, and will not prevent you from meeting your course rules. Please speak with a Student Adviser if you are unsure; you can contact them on buslaw@deakin.edu.au or (03) 9244 6555.

How to apply
