Digital Interns To Help Your Business Thrive
The Victorian Government’s $64 million Digital Jobs program is creating a new pipeline of talent to meet the digital skills needs of Victorian employers.
The program aims to produce up to 5,000 job-ready candidates with up-to-date digital skills that will help Victorian businesses thrive. Digital Jobs takes capable, experienced mid-career workers looking for a career change and helps them become web developers, data analysts, digital marketers and more.
Joining the program as an employer will build your businesses digital capability with:
A full-time intern for 12 weeks who has up-to-date digital skills and is ready to undertake a digital-related role or project
A subsidy of $5,000 per internship to support employment of the intern(s)
Access to a talent pool of productive, motivated potential interns who could be candidates for ongoing employment.
How does it work?
Eligible businesses and organisations can apply to host one or more interns for a minimum of 12 weeks. Once registered, your business will be matched with candidates with the training, skills and background that fit the role(s) you’re looking to fill. You then employ your preferred candidate(s) for a minimum 12 weeks, paying at least minimum wage, while receiving a $5,000 subsidy from the program. There are no obligations beyond that period.
Get involved
The first round of business placements will start in early October. Businesses can find out more information and apply for the program online.
