CRLP202

Internships offer valuable industry experience. They are a great way to explore new career paths, especially if you're just starting out or looking to break into the job market. 

To make internships more accessible and adaptable to the unique needs of individual students, the Careers and Employability team developed the 6 credit point subject CRLP202: Career Ready Learning and Experience.

Through CRLP202, you will undertake an internship with a local company, gaining hands-on experience working on real projects. From finding the right role to preparing for interviews and reflecting on your experience, we support you every step of the way to help you achieve career success. 

 

Internships

Want to source your own internship? Submit a student-sourced expression of interest form on CareerHub to get started. Applications for Autumn Extended are open now!

 

What is involved in CRLP202? 

  • Complete a 100-hour internship with a local company at the beginning of Autumn Extended or Winter/Spring session.
  • Attend four 2-hour workshops to reflect on your experience, identify strengths and skills, and plan future career opportunities across disciplines. 

Information for students

CRLP202 is open to all undergraduate students who have completed 24 credit points and are eligible to undertake CRLP202 as a General Elective. You must also be able to commit to a 100-hour internship within the Autumn Extended or Winter/Spring session. Start/end dates and working days/hours may vary (or be negotiated).

You can’t enrol in CRLP202 like our regular Careers and Employability subjects. Here’s a run-down on what to expect: 

  1. Source your own internship
  2. Submit the CRLP202 Self-Sourced Internship Application Form
  3. If you’re eligible, you’ll be manually enrolled in the subject and added to the Moodle
  4. Complete the 100-hour internship during the non-standard Autumn-Extended or Winter/Spring
  5. Attend four 2-hour workshops and complete your assessments to finish off the subject and convert your credit (workshops align with traditional Autumn and Spring calendar dates)

Expressions of Interest for student-sourced internships are open until 3 March 2025

  • Complete the internship between Tuesday, 28 January, 2025 – Friday, 6 June, 2025 
  • Complete the 4 workshops between Monday, 3 March, 2025 – Friday, 18 April (Autumn 2025 Week 1 – 7). You'll complete workshops before the Mid-Session Recess.
  • Submit assessments throughout Autumn

 

 

Is the internship unpaid? 

While most of the internships offered are unpaid, we do have some paid internships available.

Our internship placements follow strict approval processes, which exist to give UOW students access to lawfully unpaid vocational placements. For more information visit Fair Work Ombudsman website. 

How many days per week is the internship? 

Most of the internships are flexible as you will need to complete 100 hours between 28 January and 6 June 2025.

You can organise with the employer how you will complete the internship. For example, you might intern fulltime before the start of Autumn semester, and/or part-time during Autumn semester.

Will I be able to get a paid job after the internship? 

While we cannot guarantee you will be offered a paid opportunity after your internship, in some cases, internships can lead to paid positions.
