The internship provides students with the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge appropriate to their ICT area of interest/specialisation and allow them to reflect upon the development of those skills to enhance their workforce capability and gain exposure to the local labour market.

Whilst undertaking the ACS Professional Environments (PE) Online course, which is undertaken online alongside the Internship placement, students will be required to undertake a self-evaluation using the SFIA Framework (Skills Framework for the Information Age) to help provide guidance and support in their own professional development and future workforce development plans.

This will in turn, allow them to align their internship experience to help develop relevant skills essential to their job function/role.

2. A professional dress code applies at the Interview and when attending the Internship placement

There are 4 Internship types:

1. Provider Placed: We match your skills with a nominated ANZSCO code and endeavour to source a placement that compliments your primary course of study
2. Own Employment: you may utilise your existing or future paid ICT employment  –  subject to approval pending documentation to substantiate the employment
3. Self-Sourced Internship: A placement obtained by you but is not your employment
4. Other Location Considerations: e.g. interstate, remote or regional placements

The Internship component of the Professional Year Program aims to utilise the skills and knowledge learned during their provider facilitated coursework.

It provides a practical work experience for those aiming to develop professional skills specific to the Australian business environment.
