What Our Interns Say
I was offered an internship opportunity by Readygrad. The opportunity not only enabled me to learn new skills but also added value to my career with a comprehensive understanding of work culture and ethics. I was offered a job relevant to my field of study. I truly recommend Readygrad for students.
Arafat - IT Intern
My internship was the first stepping stone to my career in Australia. Readygrad did a great job as my internship provider. They were behind me from the point of creating a good resume till the end of my internship. I was lucky enough to get the job in my host organisation even before my Graduation.
Thilini - Accounting Intern
An internship really gets your foot in the door. Now I have much needed local experience, my professional network has grown and my confidence received a boost. I was also offered a contract.
Benjamin - Accounting Intern
The journey of 12 weeks internship was awesome. I have learned so many new things in very few days with my host company. I would love to say that I have applied my theoretical knowledge in real-time projects. some of the examples I have learnt are AWS, Data and Analytics, Cogno's, Docker.. and a lot more such as networking, problem-solving skills, work ethics, time management As a masters graduate doing the internship is extremely useful and recommended. this helped me to secure a full-time job as a platform architect. I am glad that read grad gave me this opportunity thank you.
