ANU College of Business and Economics
The College of Business and Economics (CBE) Internship Program provides students with an opportunity to gain real-world experience in an organisation through a workplace internship. The work placement component of the course, either 120 hours (6 units) or 240 hours (12 units), can be carried out in-person, in hybrid mode or virtually. The placement will make a significant contribution to improving students' employability through a well-designed internship project and reinforces the relationships CBE entertains and engages in with industry partners. The internship project has a strong focus on developing students’ capabilities in terms of their professionalism, teamwork, communication and problem-solving skills. Each intern will show evidence of competencies and skills acquired through close working relationships and collaboration with professional colleagues, a workplace supervisor and academic advisor. The internship program offers industry collaborators the opportunity to co-create value through students’ application of their theoretical knowledge and capabilities developed throughout their programs and get access to ANU talents.
Typical assessment include, but is not restricted to: Attendance at the Pre-Placement workshop (Hurdle), Meetings with internship tutors (Hurdle), Initial Project Proposal, Workshop Reflections on the Current Internship Project, Mid-Placement Evaluation by the Host, Final Internship Report and Final Placement Evaluation by the Host.
