Industry projects for students
Industry projects for students
Host an intern and catalyse life-changing experiences for young scientists. From not-for-profit start-ups to international businesses, you can develop scientific minds and innovators in the ecosystem of your organisation. Our students can help you to solve problems with a new lens.
WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL)
- WIL is an industry immersion experience, where students can integrate academic studies and professional development.
- Students complete a "recruitment" process to develop employability skills, including interview techniques, soft skills and professional communication for the workplace.
- WIL internships are unpaid, although we welcome stipends to cover students’ travel expenses. Monash University insurance covers students for the duration of the internship – including International internships.
Duration
- Student interns are required to complete around 80 – 100 hours of work placement.
- This can be taken over during the summer period (Late November to January), the winter period (July) or over a semester (usually one day per week if during semester).
What we need from you?
- Provide a project (Subjected to approval by the academic coordinator).
- Choose the correct candidate for your project.
- Mentor and supervise the interns throughout their internship.
How does WIL work?
Step 1: Find a project
- Contact us and tell us more about the available projects in your organisation. (Subjected to approval by the academic coordinator)
Step 2: Choose a candidate
- Our WIL STEM team will perform an intial screening of the students and match those applicants to relevant opportunities.
- We will organise a face to face interview between you/your organisation and the selected candidates.
- The candidates must pass the face-to-face interviews before commencing their internships.
Step 3: Internship
- Provide mentoring and supervision to interns throughout their internship.
Step 4: Project completion
- Upon completion student interns are required to complete a project proposal, a reflection and a final report. This will be supported by an academic supervisor.
