Indigenous Internship Program

The ANU has supported Traineeships, Apprenticeship and Internship Programs over many years from 2011.

Indigenous Professional Staff Employment programs have moved focus to a new initiative: The Transition to Employment Indigenous Internship Program. This shift reflects a strategic pivot toward a centrally run recruitment model aimed at building a stronger, more sustainable talent pipeline from our ANU Indigenous postgraduate or undergraduate student cohorts into professional roles at ANU. 

The internship program will be a paid 12month/350-hour program whereby the intern is employed one day a week around their studies, their placement being aligned with their vocational interests. The Intern will be assigned to a local area for their appointment following committee endorsement of the College or Division application, in addition to an interview and recruitment processes being undertaken.  

This change is designed to enhance employment pathways and career development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, while also supporting the University’s broader goals and commitment in the ANU Enterprise Agreement 2023-2026 to support growth of ANU career pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander staff.

This program annually recruits Interns and calls for local area hosts.
