Internships
- About 88 percent of UTS:Engineering students are already employed by
the time they graduate*. In fact, 2/3's choose to work for companies with
whom they spent one of their internships.
All engineering students
integrate two six-month periods of paid engineering internship into
their degree, which gives internship employers plenty of time to
consider and assess a student as a potential future employee prior to
graduation. Offering one of our students an internship has become a key
recruitment strategy for employers.
Interns offer a flexible and cost-effective way of resourcing your
business during peak periods, or when special projects require extra
staff. Interns are well-educated, and skilled self-starters who can
immediately contribute to your workplace.
Cooperative Scholarships
- As an industry partner you can join with us to support a student for
their first year of study, or in their continued study. Our cooperative scholarships program has been
an outstanding success, and is now supported by numerous industry
sponsors.
By providing a scholarship you develop
ongoing links, as well as gain access to a selection of top
undergraduates, scholarship recipients, and others for internships in
your workplace. Support for cooperative scholarships are tax-free.
Capstone students
- ?Capstone? is the term for the major final year project undertaken by
our engineering students, and is completed over a 6-12 month period. A
significant number of these projects are backed by an industry sponsor
or employer. Support for a Capstone student can help you to staff one of
your in-house projects over the short term. You also gain access to
expert staff and advanced facilities at UTS.
Interesting projects can sometimes be completed ? many students
would like to work on an interesting and relevant project based on a
current industry problem or need. If your company has such a project,
then contact us with details and we can promote relevant projects to
students. If you pay a student to do your project ? this is a very affordable /
cost-effective way to get projects completed on time within the current
financial year. Otherwise, projects can often be completed by students
whilst working for your company part-time ? this is a good way to keep
in contact with students whom you regard as potential future employees.
FREE
ACCESS TO FACILITIES ? The student completing your project will receive advice and supervision
from highly qualified academics who are often leaders/experts in their
field. Students have access to the advanced facilities and laboratory equipment at UTS
(which would otherwise need to be hired by
your company). This makes these projects affordable and achievable in
this year's budget.

further details please contact the capstone project coordinator on 9514

Graduates-
Since 88% of our students are employed before graduation, the most
effective graduate recruitment strategy is to employ students before
they graduate via our
Internships program. We find that most employers have already made their
selection well in advance of official graduation.
If you need a graduate NOW, then you can promote your job vacancies
through the
University's Central Careers Service.
The IPU provide the service of advertising these positions for UTS
industry partners, please email your ads to internships@eng.uts.edu.au
