Course description
It is important that communication professionals gain industry-based experience to better integrate their university study with their professional practice. Equipped with skills and discipline knowledge as well as industry experience better positions students flourish when they enter the workplace. For this course, you will participate in the workday routine of a communication organisation for the specified period, undertaking those tasks assigned to them and seeking to display initiative, enthusiasm, professionalism and a willingness to learn. You will, where opportunity allows, contribute to the output of the organisation, working under the supervision of a communication practitioner. You will generate a LinkedIn profile, submit a job application and participate in a mock job interview. During your internship you will plan, observe and analyse. Upon completion, you will submit a reflection.
The Internship application form is available here.
