Your organisation can benefit from the skills, knowledge and the unique perspectives our students and graduates have gained, through offering placements, projects and internship opportunities.  

  • Gain an enthusiastic student with initiative and knowledge who is keen and able to apply this in practice.   
  • Take forward a project or area of research to help the organisation overcome an issue or problem.   
  • Gain new ideas, a fresh perspective and a valuable asset in the workplace.   
  • Benefit from an extra pair of hands at peak times of the year, while acquiring early access to tomorrow’s talent from USW.   
  • Make a significant contribution to your talent sourcing strategy on a trial basis without the commitment.
