If you’re looking to land your dream job, there’s more to your employability than your degree and your grades. Industry experience can help you stand out from other applicants and put you in direct contact with businesses.
Since 2021, the Study Australia Industry Experience Program (SAIEP) has supported thousands of international students to work on real-world industry projects. Industry experience is all about practical knowledge and hands-on exposure to the workplace – the kind of stuff you can’t learn from a textbook!
Industry experience gives you an inside look into what you can expect in a real-world business setting, as well as experience in interacting with clients, employers and experts in your field. It’s a really valuable asset for any student.
SAIEP is a two-week virtual program available to international students studying with an Australian institution in Australia, in their home country or online. The Study Australia Industry Experience Program (SAIEP) can help you learn new skills, build your student and business networks and boost your employability.
The program connects students directly with Australian and global employers. Participants work in small, multi-disciplinary teams to work on real industry projects with these businesses. The teams comprise international and domestic students, working together and forming new social connections.
During the two-week program (approximately 25 hours in total), students complete an orientation, meet with their business client, submit a draft report, receive and integrate client feedback and submit a final report.
