What is CareerSeekers?
Start your future today.
We partner with leading Australian employers to create paid internships for full-time university students who are asylum seekers or refugees. An internship provides industry experience, a local professional network, and insight into career options.
Internships are suitable for full-time university students in degrees that don’t typically require a mandatory placement. Internships last 12 weeks and are completed over the summer university break, or split between the winter and summer university breaks.
Can I take part?
Your path. Your choices.
Your future.
There is no cost to participants, but interns are expected to actively participate in the program.
Currently, the program is open to students who are:
An asylum seeker or refugee enrolled in full-time tertiary studies
Attending university in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide or Brisbane
Completing studies in or after next year
Completing one of the following degrees: Science (non-medical), Engineering (all types), Commerce / Business (all majors), Information Technology, Mathematics, Law, Arts
