ProfessionalInternshipProgram
Budding Talents Recruitment has developed the “Professional Internship Program” to allow students to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to a real-world, professional work settings. The program enables students to take part in work experience in reputed Australian companies, so they can gain professional skills, experience, and possibly ongoing employment.
Our internship program leads to a win-win situation for both students and host companies. Students experience career opportunity on their path towards a successful profession, while host companies experience an opportunity to utilise the skills, talents, and insight of enthusiastic, motivated young professionals with fresh outlooks and creative, “out-of-the-box” ideas.
How Internships can benefit Companies?
Our interns are very enthusiastic, highly capable, and can be extremely valuable contributors to your productivity.
Interns often possess content knowledge and technical skills that full-time employees may not. The natural eagerness of truly serious students to get into the “real world” and practice some part of what they learned makes them a genuine asset almost immediately.
You will have an experienced, tested pool of students from which to recruit for your full-time work forces by seamlessly converting interns to permanent hires. The intern who moves on to become a permanent employee, will most likely have a minimal learning curve and an easier time acclimating to the company culture.
The interns who become full-time hires are more likely to stick with the organisation, thus giving you much loyal staff.
The intern may be your next star employee!

How Internships can benefit Students?
Students who are savvy enough to take advantage of internship opportunities often find themselves at a distinct advantage over their fellow non-internship peers at graduation time. They have, at least, solid resumes with significant work experience, contacts within the business world, and heightened levels of maturity and business acumen.
By combining professional work experience with their qualification, they will be better equipped for the competitive job market. Also, they can expect either a job offer or a reference letter at the end of internship.
Do the Host Company need to pay the salary?
Our Professional Internship Program is 3 months in duration and the intern will participate in the work experience without any expectation for salary benefits.
When you host interns from Budding Talents Recruitment, you can be completely assured that the internship is in compliance with the Fair Work Act 2009. According to which, vocational placement (Internship) means a placement that is:
undertaken with an employer for which a person is not entitled to be paid any remuneration; and
undertaken as a requirement of an education or training course; and
authorised under a law or an administrative arrangement of the Commonwealth, a State or a Territory.
It is to be noted that internship is not free labour. In return, you need to provide the intern with on-the-job training, supervision and a supportive working environment.
What happens after three months?
If you are pleased with the intern’s performance and you feel that they can add value to your team, you can employ them as permanent employees else you can just provide them with a reference letter so that they can go ahead and find a different job.
What happens if the Host Company wants to hire the Intern?
As soon as you decide to employ the intern, the internship placement automatically ends. You can make a job offer as per your hiring policies and there will not be any placement fees charged from our side.
