Meet Rehana

One of my most useful experiences at UOW was an internship with Novotel. It gave me hands-on experience and really valuable insight. Today I’m a HR Business Partner with Macquarie Group. The most rewarding part of my job is the freedom to constantly challenge the status quo, and the feeling that I’m positively contributing to something meaningful.

Real-world experience

LEARN MORE

Internships is an add-on to what they learn at the University. We learn theory concepts but we don't necessarily get taste off of the workforce. Once they go into an internship, they're able to put that theory into practice.

The idea is that the internship program that we run on is actually supported by a team at the Faculty of Business. We actually source the opportunities. We know our industry partners. We put students through our recruitment process which is very similar to what they'll face when they go into industry and you know university degree is great but you need that experience.

A lot of recruiters will ask for that two to five year experience. How do you get that as a university student when you are studying? Internships give you that. It's the combination of workplace experience and university degree, combining it and then be able to go to a job interview and say: “yes, I've got the experience you require”.
