A partnership between FLEET and APR-intern funds a route to gain valuable ‘on the floor’ industry experience for FLEET PhD/Masters students, increasing job skills and leveraging Australian scientific expertise in industry, with funding supporting the placement of research students with industry partners. Internships will be for three months, tightly focused research projects giving postgraduate students the opportunity to apply their analytical research expertise while gaining invaluable experience in an industry setting.
Why do an internship? (students) If you are an HDR student, these facilitated internship placements are an opportunity to:
- Have an immediate impact: Apply your training to real-world industry challenges
- Do something new! Refresh your enthusiasm by applying technical and problem-solving skills to new, shorter-term projects
- Increase your post-PhD employability by building a track record of delivering results
- Fast track your career with direct industry connections
- Strengthen your communication skills for funding applications and collaborations
- Receive a $3000 monthly student scholarship
Why take on an intern? (industry) For industry hosts, the funded internships are an opportunity to contribute to the training and development of the next generation of scientists and engineers, and:
- Leverage top Australian scientific expertise in your workplace
- Access problem-solving skills of HDR students
- Build collaboration links with research institutions
- Reach a new pool of potential employees
- Access partially-funded positions
- Industry reps, contact us to register interest.
Eligibility: Criteria can vary depending on your university and the industry partner. However, the following must be met by all students:
- Currently enrolled PhD student at an Australian university
- Met confirmation milestones and endorsed by your supervisor
- Domestic student or international student with appropriate visa
- FLEET member.
