Host our students

UOW’s Careers Central is focused on ensuring our students have as many opportunities as possible to engage with industry and gain real workplace experience, also known as Work Integrated Learning. To make this happen, we’d like your help to provide these opportunities. Internships are a great way to have students working on particular tasks or projects in your business. Get in touch to discuss how engaging a student can add value to your business.

Organisations can host a student through an internship or as part of an industry project for credit in one of their subjects. UOW offers a variety of motivated students from multiple disciplines from up to 120 different WIL Subjects at Bachelors and Postgraduate levels. See which organisations hosted and/or supported our students in 2020 through our internships, placements and jobs.

• CRLP200 - An intensive and practical subject designed to prepare students across all disciplines to transition into the workforce.
  • Available to: 2nd and 3rd year students, domestic and international, undergraduate.

We take care of the details such as student insurance cover, guidance on how to prepare for hosting a student, as well as supporting you throughout the internship/project to ensure success.
