Selecting Your Student

Students may apply to your opportunity until your nominated close date. Once you have received applications, you may carry out your own selection process. You may choose to interview one or more students or provide a short selection task in order to determine your preferred candidate.

Once you have identified your preferred applicant you can offer the role to the successful student. Unsuccessful applicants should be notified on the status of their application by the host.

Once a student has accepted your offer, you can arrange a mutually suitable work schedule with them. Students will typically have 80-120 hours available depending on their course and requirements. Internships may be face-to-face or remote, or a combination.

In order to negotiate a work schedule, we suggest asking the student:

• their total hours available

• their number of days per week and preferred days

• the date their hours need to be completed by

You may also advise the organisation’s preferences and negotiate a mutually convenient arrangement.
