APM Industry Placement and Internship Program

Get work ready with our breakthrough Industry Placement and Internship Program

Our Industry Placement and Internship Programs are unique. We have hundreds of companies ready to give you practical experience while you study – and we work with you to find a company and industry you are keen to get experience in.

As an APM Bachelor Degree student, you gain significant professional work experience as part of your course. Taking part in the Industry Placement is a great way for you to gain workplace experience and get a true feel for what it’s like to work in the industry of your choice. Experience is what employers are looking for – and it makes you hot property in the employment market.

As a Vocational Education Advanced Diploma student, you don’t miss out. There is an optional Internship Program as well as volunteering opportunities available. We encourage all Advanced Diploma students to participate in the Internship Program. Our Careers and Alumni Team will provide you with support. See page 8 for more information on our Internship Program and a snapshot of the companies we work with.

In addition to our Internship Program, we’ll also ensure you are ready to move seamlessly into the workforce with our career advice and job placement support. APM has some great resources to help you achieve you career goals, like resume writing, interview skills, job hunting strategies and much more. We also talk to employers throughout the year, which is how we (and you) find out about jobs that haven’t yet been advertised.

Experience that makes you employable

We’re not interested in you just finding some office job for a few days a week. That’s not what you’re training for. Our Industry Placement (for Degree students) and Internship Program (optional for Advanced Diploma students) are unique – and we have hundreds of companies eager to give you practical work experience in your area of study. We have a very strict monitoring process to make sure you get the training you need while at these companies.

You don’t have to find the companies – we have already done that. Together, with you, we choose the one that is best suited to your needs, interests and skills. Then, we prepare you for the interview with that company, where you have the chance of “marketing” yourself.

It’s no surprise that our graduates are often snapped up by their companies prior to graduation. That’s a real testament to the calibre of APM students.

Here are some of the many of companies that have taken APM students as interns or employees over recent years:
