Engage with talent from Australia's leading Business faculty.
Our 12-week internship program connects your organisation with top business and economics students. We partner with multinationals, startups, and not-for-profits, giving you access to some of Australia’s top emerging talent.
Internships run for 12 weeks during semester, with students typically working 1–2 days per week. Each intern is supported by both an industry supervisor and a dedicated academic mentor. Get in touch with us if you’d like to learn more – or alternatively – if you already run your own internship program we can work with you to connect with our students.
Engage with talent to tackle real-world business challenges.
Our Industry projects connect your organisation with student teams who bring fresh thinking and practical solutions. Projects can range from focused tasks — such as market scans — through to large, multi-stage initiatives like redesigning a business structure for a new market.
This is one of our most popular industry engagement programs, giving you the chance to see talented students deliver implementable solutions over a 12-week project. Industry mentors typically provide 1–2 hours per week of guidance to help shape outcomes.
Industry projects run in both Semester 1 and 2.
Connect with top talent through our Case Competitions
Our Case Competitions are among the faculty’s most high-profile events, attracting more than 700 student registrations each year. Over several weeks, teams tackle a real-world challenge set by industry partners — building excitement while showcasing outstanding student talent.
There are two ways to get involved:
- Case Partnership – provide a real-world challenge for students to tackle.
- Case Sponsorship – contribute to prize funding and gain prominent brand visibility throughout the competition.
Both options position your organisation in front of hundreds of talented students and include opportunities to judge, network, and connect directly with participants.
Competitions run in both Semester 1 and 2.
