  • Career coaching, plus resume and interview preparation

Assessment

Completing the assessment is required to complete the program and to be eligible for your Statement of Attainment. You’ll complete it during your internship, based on your own experience at your host company. It covers three areas:

  • Business context: your host organisation’s overview, objectives, structure, roles, rights and responsibilities, and workplace safety

  • Workplace communication: written and oral communication

  • Effective work habits: setting priorities and managing your workload

The assessment is completed online through Readygrad’s eGrad learning management system, and you’ll receive your login details when your internship begins. You’ll need a device that can access the internet, such as a computer or mobile phone, and a stable internet connection.

On successful completion of the program and assessment, you’ll receive:

  • A Readygrad Certificate of Completion for the Professional Internship Program

  • A nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for BSBOPS201 Work effectively in business environments, issued by Readygrad Pty Ltd (RTO 45724)

Subjects

Alongside your internship, you’ll complete one nationally recognised unit of competency. It’s designed to help you settle into an Australian workplace quickly and make the most of your placement. You’ll learn how Australian businesses are organised and how decisions are made, what’s expected of you as a team member, how to communicate professionally in writing and in person, and how to manage your time and priorities. Because the learning is built around your own placement, you’ll apply each topic directly to your host company as you go, so the skills you develop are practical and immediately relevant.

Nationally recognised unit included
BSBOPS201Work effectively in business environments

This unit develops the skills to work effectively in an Australian business environment. You’ll learn to understand an organisation’s goals, structure and responsibilities, work productively as part of a team, follow workplace health and safety requirements, and build effective work habits such as prioritising tasks and managing your time.

About Readygrad

Our Passion

Readygrad is a proud leader in the graduate employability space. We see a world where every graduate has the right skills and experience to pursue the career(s) of their choice.

We lift the employability of tertiary students and graduates through relevant and industry-informed work-readiness training and work experience programs.

In addition, we work closely with students, graduates, universities and education providers, and our industry partners to help increase the employability of our next generations. 

Our Story

Readygrad’s origins date back to 2012 when it was created by Owen Firth, a former recruiter & education entrepreneur, to offer work experience programs to graduates who could not break through to their first career step. Back then, we were known as Performance Careers, and we helped thousands of students and graduates to get started.

In 2017, we came together with Readygrad, a business started by former graduate recruiter Rohan Holland, to train students and graduates to prepare for the job search process and the workplace.

We merged to create one of Australia’s leading graduate employability specialists, delivering impactful training and work experience solutions to students, educators and graduate recruiters that make a difference to graduate outcomes.

Today, we are as passionate as ever about raising the bar on graduate employability. We provide scalable work experience opportunities to the students of a university partner, deliver the hard truth about the recruitment process through webinars & online learning, or help a corporate partner better engage with the right graduates.

We look forward to seeing how we can help you!
