Mid-Career Professionals
What is CareerSeekers?
Bridging careers.
Rebuilding lives.
We partner with leading organisations to create paid internships for recently arrived refugees and asylum seekers who are looking to restart professional careers in Australia. Internships provide valuable local experience and enable the intern to develop a professional network – both of which are often barriers to new Australians accessing professional employment.
Internships last 12 weeks and can commence at any point during the year, after participants have successfully completed the preparatory stages of the CareerSeekers program.
Who is the CareerSeekers Community?
There is no cost to participants, but interns are expected to fully participate in the program.
Currently, the program is open to students who are:
Asylum seeker or recently arrived refugee with English language proficiency suitable for a professional workplace
A bachelor degree from a university in their country of origin
Professional experience in their country of origin
Fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (consistent with the current policies of many employers regarding interning at their offices and sites)
How to register
Fill out the ‘Interns’ registration form and one of our Advisors will contact you.
In the meantime, check out our current list of employers to see where you could soon be interning.
