Hands-on industry experience
Every year Unitywater hosts undergraduate university students, providing an invaluable opportunity to get some real-life exposure to the workplace. The program offers a unique, hands-on experience and insight into their intended career. Our 2023-24 intake comprised of 16 students, who joined us for a three-month paid placement over their summer holidays. Students worked right across the organisation, from a range of disciplines including:
- Engineering
- Business
- Law
- Science
- Commerce
- Marketing
- ICT
Highlights provided by this intake of students included the ability to get out in the field, produce some meaningful work, and really experience what their future career may look like first-hand. Some of these students were fortunate to be offered ongoing casual work and others moved straight into graduate positions in our Graduate Development Program.
