What is an Internship?

An internship is a professional learning experience that offers meaningful, practical work related to a student’s field of study or career interest. An internship gives a student the opportunity for career exploration and development, and to learn new skills. It offers the employer the opportunity to bring new ideas and energy into the workplace, develop talent and potentially build a pipeline for future full-time employees.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INTERNSHIP AND A JOB

An Internship program is entire different from a job; all of our international interns are looking for “hands on” work experience in the real world aligned to their academic studies. The internship program is structured on the intern’s objectives and what they’d like to achieve out of the program.  An internship is a missing link between academic studies and work experience.  A professional internship program is unpaid as the main aim is for the intern to achieve their objectives.

HOST ORGANISATIONS

The Internship Program is unique as its primary emphasis is on finding and matching the candidate and the host organization with the best possible technical internship placement. Based on their expertise and experience, we can offer applicants from many educational backgrounds good internships.

The corporate world is increasingly being transformed into a multinational industry by developments in the international marketplace. With greater diversity in our workplace, we are continually challenged.

We understand the significance of a skilled and educated workforce at First Job Australia that is well equipped for the evolving global economy.

Hundreds of Australian and multinational enterprises have been enabled to achieve a competitive edge in the industry through our international interns.
