Student placements & internships

Identify prospective talent early and build your future workforce

At UniSA, we prepare students at all levels of study for their future careers through placements, internships and other workplace learning opportunities. If you’re looking to inject creativity and enthusiasm into your organisation, the Enterprise Hub can work with you to create a placement, project or vacation program that helps you achieve your business goals.

No two workplaces are the same, and neither is our approach to student placements. We can design a program that is mutually beneficial, giving you access to resourceful students eager to make their mark, while providing them with the experience their future profession demands. You can choose to host an undergraduate, postgraduate or research student, whose energy and specialist knowledge will make a positive contribution to your business.

By hosting UniSA student placements and internships, you can build a recruitment pipeline and nurture tomorrow’s professionals, readying them for a seamless transition into a role with your organisation or the wider workforce.

Case studies

Local talent meeting global VFX demand

To meet the Australian film and television industries need for fresh and highly skilled visual effects talent, UniSA and Rising Sun Pictures partnered up to deliver tailored VFX postgraduate programs, student placements and mentorship opportunities.

RSP saw the opportunity to not only nurture creativity and develop workforce-ready artists, but also invest back into their state of origin. Since this partnerships inception in 2015, approximately 30 UniSA alumni are currently employed at RSP and over 120 graduates working in industry.

“Course delivery at RSP is more than just learning technical skills, we value add to the students’ experience here by incorporating master classes, resume, show reel and interview tips. Our goal is to make the students’ learning as immersive as possible and be studio ready, and I think we’ve successfully achieved that.”
