Industry Internships: HDR candidates reaping the benefits

Jennifer Podesta Engagement, Industry, Researcher Development 0 Comment

Charles Sturt encourages our HDR candidates to engage with industry and research end-users during their candidature through internships: short-term collaborations aimed at tackling specific industry challenges. The industry partners can be SMEs, large corporations, government or community organisations or not-for-profits (NFP) and the projects concomitant with, but not part of the candidate’s doctoral research.

This year we have seen strong growth in interest in internships from our HDR candidates who recognise how these opportunities help them to apply their research skills in real-word settings, build professional connections, explore career opportunities and gain valuable skills. Read more
