Apprenticeships, Internships and Volunteering
Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship enables you to gain work experience and a qualification while earning an income
Learn more about New Zealand apprenticeships on the Government website.
Internships
An internship is work experience that takes place over a set period of time (usually 8-12 weeks). It gives you the chance to extend your classroom learning and apply your knowledge to the workplace. Browse the job search websites and LinkedIn Jobs using the word ‘internship’. You can also approach employers directly, particularly if you already have a relationship with them. Keep an eye on our Facebook group for opportunities too.
