Is your business time or resource poor? Need a hand with a business project that you have or are looking to schedule? Looking to bring fresh ideas and a new perspective into your workplace? If you answered yes to any of these questions then it’s time to consider hosting an intern.

Run between July and September, students will complete between 100-150 hours (13 - 20 days) with an allocated business and apply their knowledge to real life projects, in a professional working environment, to gain one credit point towards their degree.

Businesses and organisations will have access to students across a range of disciplines including:

Accounting	Information systems
Supply chain	Marketing & event management
Business analytics	Property real estate
Economics	Financial planning
Banking & finance	Human Resources and recruitment

Deakin Business School provides a dedicated highly skilled team that will shortlist students through a multi stage application process with businesses getting to meet potential interns and nominate their preference.
