The nature of the work experience will be determined jointly by a workplace mentor and IT Masters/ECA staff. Communication between student, workplace mentor and academic supervisor will be maintained for the duration of the project. At the conclusion of the internship, each student will be required to prepare a report and give a presentation at a workshop attended by fellow students and academic supervisors.

Workplace Learning

This subject contains a 60 days Compulsory Workplace Learning component.

Students are to undertake 10-12 weeks (220 to 240 hours) as part of the Professional Internship, under the supervision of a workplace mentor and IT Masters/Education Centre of Australia (ECA) staff.

Additional Value of the ECA x Dale Carnegie Competency Development Program (8 hours of duration) will also be offered. This covers 4 competencies. This is exclusive for students opting to do the Internship and will be at no additional cost.

The Internship is unpaid and meets fair work requirements for Unpaid Internships. Students, the host and ECA sign a Deed of Agreement and a Training Plan agreeing to the terms of the program.

All students at IT Masters will automatically meet the English eligibility criteria of the program. ECA Internships, however, conducts a Universal Cognitive Aptitude Test to better understand student capabilities for optimal employer matchmaking.

Students receive a certificate of completion from ECA Internships listing the credits if required and also a certificate from ECA x Dale Carnegie.
