TALENTED INTERNS FOR YOUR BUSINESS THIS SUMMER

Date: December 07, 2008

Accelerating Auckland’s IT internship programme is now placing Auckland based graduates from Massey University, University of Otago, University of Waikato, AUT, University of Auckland, AIS St Helens and the New Zealand School of Education in 10 - 20 week internships.

We currently have more than 70 talented graduate students registered for the programme - mainly Computing, IS or Electronic engineering grads or post grads
 
• Government’s TECHNZ (FRST – the Foundation for Research Science and Technology) fully funds the graduates’ wages for approved projects at approved companies.
 
• The cost to approved businesses is $3,000 per student as a project participation fee; includes support for project scoping & funding applications and a  seminar programme. 

• Our internship website at http://ict.acceleratingauckland.co.nz/ has further details on the programme
The main interest from employers in the opportunity so far has been:

• Getting projects delivered that can't otherwise be justified or resourced

• The opportunity to work with graduates on a pre-employment basis “try before they buy”

• A chance to establish relationships with the universities for research purposes
