The Whitehorse Tertiary Business Skills Program is an innovative student internship program run in collaboration with Whitehorse City Council’s Investment and Economic Development Unit and the Deakin Business School.
The Program matches Whitehorse businesses with second year, third year or postgraduate Deakin University students who are educated and equipped with specialised knowledge, theories and business practices to apply to business strategies. Students generally complete one day per week with a business over a three-month period.
For Whitehorse-based businesses, the program offers the opportunity to utilise the skills of university students to improve business outcomes. Businesses may require specialised input with a specific project or additional assistance with typical operations such as accounting.
For students, the program offers the opportunity to apply the skills learnt at University into the workplace. They gain the satisfaction of adding value to a local business, may receive academic credit and improve their chances of gaining employment following the completion of their studies.
