Building your experience

Vacation work and internship

Internships are generally aimed at penultimate and final year undergraduate students.  You can expect to be supervised and assessed during this experience, as many employers use this opportunity to assess your suitability for a graduate program or employment right after your internship period.

Combining work and travel allows you to explore new experiences and gain new skills, with many employers valuing the international perspective that these experiences can help you develop.
