UniSA Business Internship Program Student to Industry Networking Event - Student Tickets

This event is primarily for UniSA Business students undertaking an internship/placement course in SP7 2022 or SP2 2023.

[Event open to current UniSA Business students only]

This 5th instalment of our face-to-face speed-networking events, builds on the success of our April event where from 210+attendees has resulted in 57 placements to date and many more formal/informal connections!

This will be a formal facilitated networking session designed to maximise your opportunity to connect with relevant industry personnel. The aim of this session is that you will be able to identify an industry partner(s) that you would like to progress to a self-placement.

This is a unique opportunity to increase your professional network and gain access to a wide range of industry partners who are experienced placement hosts.

FAQs

What do I need to prepare? You will have a 30 second 'elevator pitch' outlining what you're studying, what your interests are, and when you are seeking to undertake a placement.

Will I have the opportunity to meet every/any industry partner I want to? Due to the scale of the event this is likely not possible. However, we do try and rotate people as much as possible. These rotations are all formulated prior to the event based on preferences noted by industry partners when registering. This worked well at the last event and will be improved further based on lessons learned and participant feedback.

Will you share the list of Industry Partners prior to the event? Yes, we will include this in pre-event updates in the fortnight preceding the event. We recommend you undertake some research prior to the event to assist you when connecting with the industry partners.
