An internship is a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment, and it can be paid or unpaid. Internship can substantially increase chances of a student finding employment before or after graduation.
At Victoria University, the Careers Services team is committed to sourcing a wide range of quality internship opportunities for students and recent graduates. This internship can either be On-Campus Internship, Opportunities across a wide range of Companies or industries or International Internships which is currently being developed with their global network of employers.
All these opportunities are paid and supported by a comprehensive development plan to ensure students get most from the internship program at Vitoria University.
