Engineering Internship Program

Are you an aspiring engineer looking to gain real-world experience in the Australian engineering industry? This 12-week Engineering Internship Program offers you the opportunity to get involved in practical projects, learn directly from experienced professionals, and build a strong foundation for your future career.

Why Choose This Program?

• Gain practical industry skills as you take part in hands-on tasks relevant to your engineering discipline, from designing systems with SolidWorks to conducting quality assurance checks or managing safety documents for ongoing projects (depending on your engineering major and your host company).
• Build industry connections as you work directly with experienced engineers and supervisors who are happy to share their knowledge and guide you through real-life engineering processes, from project planning to execution.
• Develop your employability as you learn about how the local industry operates and develop key technical and soft skills in a supportive and professional working environment.

Who Can Apply?

• University students, including international and local students studying engineering in Australian universities who want to meet their degree requirements, gain academic credit, and apply their skills in a practical setting to gain work experience.
• Recent graduates, as well as students who don’t have an internship requirement in their degree can combine their work experience placement with an accredited Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program to boost their skills and professional profile.
