Work Experience, not for credit
Work experience can provide a link between theoretical issues covered in a student's course and the world of work. It can be for course credit (Work Integrated Learning) or not-for-credit. Work experience can take many forms:
- work placements
- internships
- community service learning
- cooperative education
- volunteer work
These experiences usually have two things in common:
- they are not permanent positions
- they involve training in the work place.
Some work experience positions are unpaid.
Where can I advertise not-for-credit work experience opportunities to QUT students?
Insurance guidelines
Work experience which is not a course requirement is covered by the unpaid work experience insurance available through Careers and Employment. Refer to the Insurance section.
