Internship Grants
Move your Business Forward with Internships
Take advantage of Australia’s world-class university talent by placing an undergraduate or postgraduate student intern in your business.
DSI’s Industry Internship Grants are geared towards industry partners wanting to place an undergraduate or postgraduate student. We provide financial support to help companies meet the costs of industry internships for undergraduate and RHD students via collaboration with the Ai group and the APR.Intern program respectively. We can also help you identify issues that might benefit from a research intern, connecting you to some of the brightest research talent in Victoria’s Universities.
Interns can help you find solutions to technical roadblocks, develop new ideas and insights and bring the latest thinking and research into your business. We work with you to help identify how an intern can bring value to your business and help cover the costs of hosting an intern.Interns are also a great way to start developing a research relationship with a university. The right intern can lead to excellent short-term outcomes, solving an immediate problem, and brings the potential for longer-term relationships with both the intern and their university.

Undergraduate Internships
To help students discover a passion for the defence sector in the early stages of university, we provide funding to industry partners towards the cost of taking on an undergraduate student intern, in collaboration with Ai Group.
Through its extensive connections within the defence industry, particularly through the Australian Industry Group Defence Council and Australian Collaborative Education Network (ACEN), Ai Group assists DSI to source host companies to foster work integrated learning between industry and universities.

The APR.Intern program places a postgraduate student within a company for three to five months. The value of the grant is $12,500, which is awarded to industry towards the cost of participation in the APR.Intern program. Combined with the current federal government rebate, this program brings innovative solutions to your research problems at a very modest cost.
