A National Internship Scheme: discussion paper

A National Internship Scheme will enable more Australian university students to undertake structured work-based learning in industry during their studies. Such a scheme will realise a potential for providing increased income support for students delivered in a way that complements their studies and increases their future employability and productivity. A broad partnership between universities, government and industries to develop a National Internship Scheme will provide support for efforts to address skills shortages in an effective and structured way. This paper discusses the concept of a National Internship Scheme and sets out a set of options to consider, and key implementation issues. It is put forward for reaction, response and action.
