What our partners have to say

"Our HR Intern Crystelle has joined FDM on a 12 week intern program. The exposure the intern has to the day to day operations is invaluable - she is able to put into practice the theory of her HR discipline. I love the enthusiasm and energy our intern brings to the team, along with a real drive to learn and understand the business and how a real life HR and business team operates."

Aleksandra Zlatevska, FDM Group (Australia HR Manager)

 

"Over the past couple of years the Parliament of NSW has participated in the innovative UNSW Co-NNECTIONS interns program. Our most recent enthusiastic and capable intern has been working with the Communications, Engagement and Education branch, and has brought fresh perspective, knowledge and talent to our team. We have enjoyed getting to know her and being able to work together on engagement initiatives and materials for the Parliament. In turn, we hope the experience has enabled our intern to gain some new skills, understand workplace dynamics, and learn more about the role of a busy Parliamentary administration. ”

Lisa Thomas, NSW Parliament (Director of Communications, Engagement and Education)
