The Recruit Curtin team have always provided great insight and assistance to the EY Campus Recruitment team on student career trends and we have enjoyed organising joint initiatives throughout the years to promote our student program opportunities to them. I would highly recommend working with them to achieve your campus recruitment strategy.

Charlene O’Ellison, Campus Recruitment Senior Consultant

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience working with the Recruit Curtin team. Their unwavering support and collaborative approach have greatly contributed to the success and promotion of our internship opportunities. Every participant we’ve had the pleasure of working with from Curtin has proven to be a high-achiever and a true go-getter. In fact, we’ve been fortunate to have had two ambassadors from Curtin who were both absolute sweethearts and were always enthusiastic to be sharing their internship experiences with their classmates. Looking ahead, we eagerly look forward to continuing our partnership with Curtin for the years to come.

How long will a recruitment campaign take?

It varies with each position. Roles are typically advertised for three weeks, with flexibility in closing the advertisement early at the discretion of the client or if enough candidates are in the talent pool.

Work experience guidelines

Guidelines for host organisations

This manual is for all host organisations who provide unpaid work experience placements. Fieldwork allows students to learn through direct implementation of their professional roles in real workplace settings. Unpaid Work Experience placements are one important example of fieldwork. Curtin University values authentic learning and Curtin Student Success is very grateful for the support given by organisations providing such opportunities.

Responsibilities for ensuring a successful placement

The organisation of a placement can be a complex task and it may be useful if some clarification is given on the levels of responsibility for different aspects of the placement.

Responsibilities of the host supervisor

The supervisor (or their delegate) shall be a professional employee of the host organisation and shall be responsible for:

Responsibilities of the student

The student is responsible for:

The student is expected to:

Feedback on the student by the host organisation

Feedback on the student’s efforts and performance during their placement would be greatly appreciated by the student. This can be given to the student either during their placement or at the end. Feedback does not need to be submitted to the University.

Student placement agreements and insurance

Once the fieldwork agreement has been read and submitted by the host organisation’s representative via UniHub, the certificates of currency will be issued to the host organisation for the student’s placement by the Placement Co-ordinator.

Financial issues

Students are required to meet any expenses involved in the placement (i.e. travel, parking etc). Students will NOT be paid during the placement.

Thank you for your support

Placements could not occur without the full cooperation of our valued industry partners. We are deeply grateful to you and your staff for your commitment to our students. We know the placement is valuable to our students and hope that the placement will also be a rewarding experience for the host organisation.

Contacts and procedural comments

Curtin Student Success staff appreciate any feedback on the procedures in place for placements, the coverage of these guidelines, etc. If you have any queries or comments concerning the placement, please do not hesitate to contact the Placement Coordinator.
