International Internships
UWS also offers Australian undergraduate students the opportunity to work overseas for five weeks during the summer vacation (Dec – Feb).
If your organisation has branches overseas, and can provide a valuable international work experience opportunity for a UWS student, please contact Careers & Cooperative Education Manager, Ms Freny Tayebjee.
There is no charge to the host organisation for participating in this program.
Testimonial:
“The UWS internship program has proven an invaluable and mutually beneficial partnership to the Major Events Unit. Many of the students have been offered jobs within Council as a result of their internship. Not only do students lend a helping hand in the day to day business but they also contribute new and fresh ideas.”
Vivien Accardo, Major Events & Marketing Officer, Parramatta City Council
