Charlene O’Ellison, Campus Recruitment Senior Consultant

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with the Recruit Curtin team. Their unwavering support and collaborative approach have greatly contributed to the success and promotion of our internship opportunities. Every participant we’ve had the pleasure of working with from Curtin has proven to be a high-achiever and a true go-getter. In fact, we’ve been fortunate to have had two ambassadors from Curtin who were both absolute sweethearts and were always enthusiastic to be sharing their internship experiences with their classmates. Looking ahead, we eagerly look forward to continuing our partnership with Curtin for the years to come.

Kania Putri, Marketing & BusDev Manager at ArtBound Initiative

IMDEX partners annually with Curtin University, a great supporter of our Kickstart a Career @ IMDEX Program. The quality of Internship students representing Curtin is always outstanding, bringing fresh and innovative thinking to our global business. The Curtin team consistently takes the time to understand IMDEX’s business goals and requirements and exceeds our expectations year-on-year by sourcing talented and energetic students, with diversity front of mind! We look forward to continuing our partnership for the 22/23 annual summer Internship program.

Work experience guidelines

Guidelines for host organisations

This manual is for all host organisations who provide unpaid work experience placements. Fieldwork allows students to learn through direct implementation of their professional roles in real workplace settings. Unpaid Work Experience placements are one important example of fieldwork. Curtin University values authentic learning and Curtin Student Success is very grateful for the support given by organisations providing such opportunities.

Responsibilities for ensuring a successful placement

The organisation of a placement can be a complex task and it may be useful if some clarification is given on the levels of responsibility for different aspects of the placement.

Responsibilities of the host supervisor

The supervisor (or their delegate) shall be a professional employee of the host organisation and shall be responsible for:

Responsibilities of the student

The student is responsible for:

The student is expected to:

Feedback on the student by the host organisation

Feedback on the student’s efforts and performance during their placement would be greatly appreciated by the student. This can be given to the student either during their placement or at the end. Feedback does not need to be submitted to the University.

Student placement agreements and insurance

Once the fieldwork agreement has been read and submitted by the host organisation’s representative via UniHub, the certificates of currency will be issued to the host organisation for the student’s placement by the Placement Co-ordinator.

Financial issues

Students are required to meet any expenses involved in the placement (i.e. travel, parking etc). Students will NOT be paid during the placement.

Thank you for your support
