Testimonials
Here's what our Clients Say
Discover how professionals have transformed their careers with Career Growth Studio. Our clients’ success stories reflect the impact of personalized guidance, expert strategies, and dedicated support.
I am grateful to say that I took the right decision by enrolling in the program. They have helped me so much by choosing the right companies and growing as an individual in the workplace. My consultant is a wonderful guide. He encouraged me to undertake every opportunity which could help me build up my career as a business admin. Highlights of my internship was gaining a practical industry experience in business analytics and revenue management, developing skills in CRM program, and gaining practical experience in project management. My supervisor is an amazing person. She's helping in understanding how business work in the real world and acknowledging the relationship between department with a multi-site and multi-entity organization. Other employees in my internship are also helping to develop my skills as a revenue intern and networking around the corporative office.
My name is Patrick, I am 33, and I am French. Following a bachelor's degree in the U.S., I came to Australia for a Master's in 2004, only to leave the country late last year after an enviable career start at Virgin Australia, one of the Australia's two main airlines, and some great memories down under. Now back in Europe and working in the NGO space. After my master's, I choose to do an internship in Australia to stay a little longer in the country and to get my career started in a job environment that was much more dynamic than back in Europe. What a great move it was. I was in place in a young and cool company, a very interesting and formative project, and the perfect role to put me on track to some higher positions. I was 24 when I started working, and by the age of 30, I already had a career that many 40-plus-year-old would envy.
I'm glad that I made a great decision which is asking for help. They're all very professional and very friendly. They provided me a lot of help, such as interview mocking training, modifying my resume. It didn't take me a long time to get the interview. Their efficiency surprised me. I'm studying marketing, so I really need a working experience that is related to marketing. They helped me get into an amazing company where it can allow me to learn more about marketing in real business environment. The company they found for me got me involved to every marketing aspect. As an international student, it is really hard to find an internship without any proper working experience. They are like a bridge that can help you connect to a bright future. To have a good start of your career, go for the program.
Fantastic service, great experience from the start to finish. My consultant was really helpful. I got placed in an engineering company for internship within 3 weeks. I felt very welcomed in that company, learned a lot from my supervisor and other staff working there. Thank you! Highly recommended to anyone looking for internship opportunities.
Whilst I couldn't imagine my experience is the standard, I can't thank them enough for what they've done. Within two weeks of signing up, I had been placed in an internship and offered a full-time position. Throughout the entire process, they always supported me, and without their help, I believe I would not have found employment for quite some time. I would like to especially thank my consultant for helping me every step of the way.
My host company gave me training on different elements like tendering, estimating, subcontractor management, procurement, documentation, and client management. I was able to learn how to prepare estimates on the basis of Australian standards. They offered a part-time job after the internship. I am so fortunate to start my dream job in Australia. Thank you for your valuable support in finding my internship and job. Thank you for finding an internship for me in my dream career.

Have questions about our Internship Program? We’ve got you covered! From application tips to program benefits, find all the answers you need to kickstart your career journey with Career Growth Studio.
Will I receive remuneration for the internship?
Participants in the Internship Program do not receive remuneration from host companies. In Australia, an internship is considered a vocational training period offered by an organization for a limited, unpaid time.
Unpaid internships are legal in Australia if they form part of a vocational placement as defined by the Fair Work Act 2009.
Consult the Fair Work Australia website for more information about the rules related to work experience and internships.
How many opportunities can I expect to receive?
If a candidate is unsuccessful in an interview with a host company, they will be granted up to three interview opportunities, according to the program's terms and conditions.
A candidate is considered unsuccessful in an interview if rejected by the host company.
Is there any guarantee of obtaining a permanent or paid position at the end of the internship?
While there is a positive history of interns receiving permanent job offers at their host company (over 60%) and starting to work in their field of study after the internship, the Internship Program providers do not guarantee employment as part of the program. The outcome depends on several factors, including the intern's performance during the internship.
To increase the likelihood of receiving a job offer, it is recommended to take proactive measures such as gaining comprehensive knowledge about the company and industry, working diligently, showcasing your skills and abilities, building professional networks, and continuously improving your knowledge and skills throughout the internship with the host company. These actions can significantly enhance your chances of securing employment at the end of the internship.
Can you help me find an internship that meets my university course requirements?
Absolutely!
If you are looking for an internship as part of your university or higher education course and need help finding one, the first thing you should do is gather the official documents from your university or educational institution detailing the credit requirements for the internship. We recommend consulting with your course advisor or the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) team at your university to understand the specific requirements for internship or placement subjects, as these can vary between universities.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We will be happy to provide more details.
What happens if I decide to voluntarily withdraw from the program?
If you decide to voluntarily withdraw from the program and terminate the agreement with the Internship Program provider, the non-refundable application fee will be retained. However, you may be eligible for a refund of the program fees before the program initiation, which refers to the moment you are assigned an Internship Program Supervisor and internship counseling and/or program negotiation begins.
We recommend that you carefully read the Program Terms and Conditions for more details.
What if I am in the process of renewing my current visa?
If you have a genuine intention to renew your soon-to-expire visa, you are eligible to join the program. Similarly, if you are currently on a bridging visa, you can also start the program.
Does participating in an internship count toward my weekly work hour limit?
No, participating in an internship does not count toward your weekly work hour limit. According to Australian legislation, an internship is not classified as employment. Therefore, the hours worked during an internship are not subject to the restrictions imposed by the Student Visa regarding work hour limitations, even if the 48-hour fortnight restriction is reinstated.
Do you provide the internship program directly?
No, we do not directly provide the Internship Program. Our mission is to connect you with our partners, who are the providers of the Internship Program. They will guide you through the process of starting your internship.
Can I do a part-time internship, three days a week?
Yes, part-time professional internships are available. It is possible to study and do an internship at the same time. These opportunities are specifically designed for candidates already in Australia on a Student Visa. If you have another type of visa and are interested in participating in a part-time program, please contact us for more information.
Candidates can work up to 20 hours per week for a minimum period of 12 weeks. The specific days and/or hours of work will be determined during the internship negotiation process. For more details, please contact us.
Is it possible to do a virtual internship?
Yes, it is possible to do a virtual internship.
The Virtual Internship Program provides students and professionals the opportunity to gain work experience with an Australian company, all in a remote professional setting. Throughout the program, interns are supervised by a mentor and actively participate in real projects assigned by the host company in various fields and industries.
A virtual internship offers an excellent opportunity to start your professional career in Australia, improve your skills, actively participate in real projects, and receive mentoring from experienced professionals. The best part is that it offers flexibility in terms of working hours.
In which cities in Australia do you offer internships?
Internships are offered in almost all major cities in Australia, as well as in some specific regional areas.
How long does it take to find me an internship?
Generally, it takes 3 to 4 months from the enrollment date until the candidate starts their internship. This period covers the entire process of finding a suitable internship opportunity.
Is the Internship Program designed only for recent graduates, or is it suitable for someone who completed their undergraduate or bachelor’s degree some time ago?
The Internship Program is not limited to recent graduates. It is suitable for individuals who have completed their undergraduate, bachelor’s degree, or other tertiary qualification, regardless of when they graduated.
We welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences, including those who completed their degree some time ago.
The program aims to provide valuable professional opportunities and development for individuals at different stages of their careers.
If I have no experience in my field, can I still be a potential candidate for a host company?
Not having prior experience in your field does not necessarily make you less attractive to a company looking for interns.
Many companies understand that internships are a valuable opportunity for individuals or recent graduates to gain practical experience and develop their skills. They often seek enthusiastic, motivated, and willing-to-learn candidates. While relevant experience can be beneficial, host companies also consider factors such as your academic background, transferable skills, and potential for growth. It is important to highlight your passion, willingness to learn, and commitment to making the most of the internship opportunity.
By emphasizing your strengths and demonstrating a strong work ethic, you can still be an attractive candidate for an internship, even without prior experience in your field.
Do you have paid internships?
Yes, we offer some paid internships; however, it is important to note that these opportunities are exceptional and primarily available in the fields of Marketing, Human Resources, and Event Management.
How long does the internship last?
The duration of the internship typically ranges from 12 to 26 weeks. As part of the program, both full-time and part-time opportunities are offered. For more detailed information about specific program durations, we suggest consulting the Program Price List section.
Do I need to be studying something related to the internship to participate?
No, you do not need to be studying something directly related to the internship to participate in the program. We welcome candidates from diverse academic fields and consider their skills, interests, and potential for growth when finding suitable internship opportunities for them.
What if I have already found a job when the internship begins?
The application fee is non-refundable (see the Program Price List section). Regarding program fees, the following conditions apply:
- If internship negotiations have not yet started, it is possible to obtain a 50% refund of the program fee.
- Once internship program negotiations have begun, 50% of the program fee will be retained or payable to the Internship Program provider.
- If you have started paying the program fees, it is possible to obtain a 50% refund of the program fee if internship negotiations have begun. If you have not yet started paying the program fees, a 50% payment of the program fee will be required if internship negotiations have begun.
- If you have participated in one or more interviews, secured an internship, or the host company has signed the Training Agreement, the internship program will retain 50% of the program fees.
- Specific details about refunds and payments can be found in the program's terms and conditions.
What is the employability rate with the Internship Program?
The Internship Program has an impressive employability rate of 60%, meaning a significant portion of participants secure job opportunities after completing their internships.
We and our partners take pride in this high employability rate, as it reflects the effectiveness of our program in equipping interns with valuable skills and experiences that make them attractive candidates in the job market.
