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 2021 (PDF) through our internships, placements and jobs.

Careers Central offer a variety of WIL Subjects. These include:

• 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.
• ENGG980 – Designed to ensure Master of Engineering students are equipped with intercultural skills, cultural awareness and communication skills to best apply their Engineering knowledge. 
  • Available to: international students.
• GWP900 – A subject for Master of Business students designed to meet their employment aspirations to work in Australia.

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. Internships/projects are open to current students and run throughout the year. Unpaid internships must meet the definition of a vocational placement under the Fair Work Act 2009.
