Engage new talent
The core purpose of the program is to offer experiential learning opportunities combined with rigorous reflection on globally responsible business practices and innovation practices in the workplace. The application and recruitment process is part of that learning.
Our aim is to provide a pathway for our students to link with industry partners, and for industry to access an undiscovered pipeline of innovative, driven and curious students eager to enter the workforce.

The Business Internship runs twice a year. Students enrolled in Autumn session can complete their internship over the Summer break (Dec – Feb) or during session. Students enrolled in Spring session can complete their internship over the winter break (Jun – Jul) or during session.

“Novotel Wollongong Northbeach and the wider AccorHotels community has built a strong relationship with the UOW Business Internship Program over quite a number of years now. We love working with the Business Internship team and feel that they understand the needs of our business and company and are able to channel suitable and talented individuals to us through the internship program. We have always had great feedback from our hotels when hosting UOW students and many students have gone on to gain employment and develop their careers with AccorHotels. We find the students to be professional, motivated and well prepared for working in the industry and they always have great support from the Business Internship team."

"At the end of 2021 I was contacted to apply for an opportunity through the Business Internship Program (BUS391), this lead to undertaking an internship with Pacific National. Throughout the journey, the internship team (Jorge and Casey) were both extremely helpful and willing to provide feedback to make sure I excelled during the different phases of applying for the internship opportunity. Throughout the application, interview, and time with the organisation both were always a call away, to calm my nerves or discuss ideas, I was supported every step of the way. BUS391 provided me with opportunities required to gain experience and become a valuable team member, all whilst securing a job post internship”.
