TeaMWork Internships Program
TeaMWork is a virtual internship program that brings together students and organisations from across the globe to work on a collaborative project. The project will support an organisation in any challenges and opportunities it may be facing. We are particularly encouraging projects themed towards achieving one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and/or one that aims to achieve an ethical outcome, however, all projects are welcome. Students are from Monash University in Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia, and the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom and from a diverse range of backgrounds and disciplines. The students work in teams of 6-8 collaboratively with organisation partners over four weeks in the June-July semester break to achieve the desired project outcomes.
The program is wholly supported by the award-winning global partnership - the Monash Warwick Alliance. The Alliance harnesses the collective strengths of two universities from opposite sides of the globe, creating international opportunities for students.
TeaMWork projects can include:
- Reviewing and developing corporate sustainability initiatives.
- Developing business plans and communication strategies.
- Creating a corporate social responsibility plan or ethos.
- Bringing a new product to market or adapting a product for a new market.
- Identifying the impact of emerging technology.
- Designing and carrying out research.
Organisations will provide a project for a group of 6-8 multidisciplinary students to work on for a period of four weeks. This could be a challenge or development opportunity that the organisation is facing. We are especially seeking opportunities themed around the UN SDGs or to achieve an ethical outcome; however, we welcome all varieties of projects.
The organisation will assign an Organisation Mentor to communicate and meet virtually with the student team and help guide them through the project for the duration of the program. A University Contact will also be assigned to the team to assist with questions and track team progress throughout the program.
