1. Why did you choose to complete an Internship?

Internship is considered to be a starting point to build a career in any field and I believe that internship is helpful in transforming a student into competent professional. I am an international student and I understand the significance of internships in understanding the work culture, work environment and socio-economic pulse resonating in a country like Australia.  This realisation is one of the reasons that drive me to continue my internship in this crisis situation due to COVID-19. Moreover, the host organisation is an engineering company and they have couple of interesting projects on board, which attracted me to do an internship. Also, Australian Internships and my host organisation support me and keep in regular contact to bring the confidence level even in this pandemic situation.

2. What have you learned the most during your internship?

I am intern with few years of experience in the industry and still, there are plenty out there in my host organisation which is absolutely new to me. To be specific, the project documentation and procedures in my country is different to that of Australian industry. Through this internship, the most I learned is about Australian standards and project documentations.  Furthermore, I get to know more about an Australian company and how they progress in the engineering field. As an engineer, it is exciting to do this internship.

3. What benefits do you feel AI contributed to your internship and time in Australia?

Firstly, I would like to thank my internship supervisor and the whole team in coordinating this internship during this pandemic situation. The regular feedback and checks on interns are really appreciable and there are no words to express my sincere gratitude for Australian Internships. Being honest here, I have never expected that I could do an internship now, but Australian Internships made it possible and it means a lot to me in terms of my career and life in Australia.

4. What advice would you give future interns?

One advice for future interns is: cooperate with Australian Internships and they will assist you to get you in the right place that best fits you. I personally feel that Australian Internships is very supportive and quick.

5. What do you enjoy most about Australia?

Weather and multi-cultural life in Australia is something that amazes me. The most enjoyable thing in Australia is the liveability of the country with quiet regional areas and beaches.
