The StudentConnect program, an initiative of BGEA, has partnered with Edith Cowan University to facilitate connections between local organisations and ECU Interns through the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Internship program.
Organisations can benefit from participating in this program in the following ways:
– Staff development through interaction and engagement with students and ECU staff.
– Developing links with the University and other organisations.
– The opportunity to identify prospective employees.
– The opportunity to provide feedback that shapes what future students are taught.
– A mutually beneficial collaboration with ECU and its various Faculties and Schools.
This partnership also helps students to form connections with potential future employees, as well as provide opportunities for students who have to leave the region to pursue a university pathway, to return.
If you are interested in hosting an intern, head to our ECU Work Integrated Learning Internship Program page on the StudentConnect website to find out more and submit an expression of interest (BGEA members receive a 20% discount on subscriptions).
Details on the different schools of discipline can be found here: 2025 ECU Schools of Discipline
