From Year 12 elective to a Technology internship
“I didn't know where to start looking for something like this. My profile matched me straight away, and my counsellor handled all the back-and-forth with the company.”
Outcome
- Matched to a relevant internship within her first week on the platform
- Applied using her saved student profile — no repeated data entry
- School counsellor coordinated interview scheduling and a start date
Maya listed "Technology" as a career interest and "Internship" as her preferred opportunity type when she set up her ilearn4u profile. The platform surfaced a 6-week Technology Internship listed by a Brisbane-based software company on the Recommended Opportunities page.
She applied directly through ilearn4u — the application form pre-filled her name, age, school and career interests from her profile, so she only had to answer the opportunity-specific questions about availability and why she was interested.
Once the organisation reviewed and accepted her application, her school counsellor at Riverbend State High School received the update immediately and coordinated the placement details directly with the company, including the start date and required documentation — Maya never had to contact the business herself.
