Industry Experience Program
What is the Industry Experience Program
The USQ Industry Experience Program has been designed to assist students to develop and enhance their skills and knowledge and broaden their understanding of the world of work and career opportunities. The Industry Experience Program is a co-operative partnership between a student, host organisation, and the Careers & Employment unit of Student Services.
This program is a practical learning-based industry experience program that allows an organisation to host a student for unpaid industry experience up to 30 days over a designated period of time.
What about Insurance
The University of Southern Queensland has entered into a contract of insurance indemnifying the Student and the Industry Experience provider against liability for personal injury or property damage suffered by the Student, the Industry Experience provider or another person arising out of the work experience.
