Industry Placement Program

When you do an APM Business Degree, you will complete an Industry Placement Program with one of our industry partners where you gain experience in your chosen profession and get solid insights into modern work-force performance and expectations.

Every student is consulted to determine a placement provider that matches their needs closely. Many APM graduates are able to secure jobs with organisations they’ve worked with as part of this program, or through connections they make along the way.

What graduates say

“I picked APM as I had previously studied at a big university for a year and felt a bit lost as there are so many people. APM is much smaller and the lecturers and students have a better relationship and I found it a lot easier getting help with my studies if needed. It felt much more personal at APM.
My favourite part about APM was the friends I made and that we were together throughout the whole course. I enjoyed really the classes and how friendly the lecturers were and how they made every day productive yet enjoyable.”
Tarryn Silver  |  Bachelor of Business (Event Management), Completed Industry Placement at Business Chicks. Event Host, Establishment
"When I was approaching my last exam at APM, I was a little scared of being pushed into the ‘real world’. During my time at APM I did two  internships and gained a contact that was looking to hire a graduate and my career began! I did my workplace experience at Brave in North Sydney before moving to 303 in Pyrmont, which provided me with the contact I needed to gain a fulltime position with my current employer. The Industry Placement Program was my favourite part of the APM experience."
