Professional Internship Program

New enrolments in the Professional Internship Program suspended from April 6, 2020.

Due to COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to suspend new enrolments in our Professional Internship Program from Monday April 6, 2020 until we are confident that it is safe for our interns to return to Host Organisations. We are hopeful that this will be in the second half of 2020.

However, due to increasing demand for internships for the second half of 2020, we are taking expressions of interest now. So if you are interested in completing an internship program at that time, please register your interest here so you can have priority access to the internship opportunities when they return.

Please register your interest here if you are planning to enrol in our Professional Internship Program.

Our Professional Internship Program* is a structured program focusing on providing employment readiness skills. The program is designed for eager young professionals just like you looking to kick off their careers.

Our 16 to 20 week program includes a 12 week placement with an Australian company. It is designed to help your transition from study to the workplace and to put that all-important experience on your resume.

We will match you with the right internship placement for you, taking into consideration your career goals, specific area of expertise, relevant experience, learning objectives, training needs and location. Our graduates achieve excellent program and employment outcomes, with many being offered employment by their internship host company.

Readygrad is one of the largest dedicated graduate employability specialist in Australia. As ex-graduate recruiters and development specialists we saw a gap in graduates’ relevant work experience, employability skills and their readiness for the workplace and set out to help change that. We have helped thousands of interns launch their careers, and want to help you too.

Stage 1: Preparation & Interviews

The first stage of the Professional Internship Program is all about getting you ready to ace your internship placement.

You’ll work together to perfect your resume, boost your confidence through our interview workshop, and we will ensure you are ready for the workplace with our online Work Health and Safety (WHS) training. We’ll also be busy matching you to internship opportunities at one of our 6,600 host companies and arranging interviews.

Stage 2: 12 Week Professional Internship Placement

Readygrad specialises in accounting internships, engineering internships, finance internships, HR internships, IT internships, marketing internships and supply chain/logistics internships.
