General requirements
- WIL projects are typically completed in groups of 3-5 students. Project descriptions should outline a challenge or focus area that adds real value to existing, anticipated or simulated problems in the industry. These must be submitted at least 1 month prior to the start of the semester.
- WIL internships can be offered on an individual basis or multiple positions. Internship positions should outline a problem, challenge or focus area within your business, and any skills students will require.
- Each WIL activity is assigned an RMIT supervisor with industry experience, who will support both you and the students throughout the experience, including assisting with any technical questions.
- Industry supervisor is expected to monitor tasks, meet with students regularly (ideally at least 1 hour per week), to provide support and feedback for best outcomes.
