IAESTE is based on a principle of reciprocal exchange, so by employing your intern through IAESTE you give an student studying in Australia the opportunity to go intern overseas. If you are a university employer, you can request that a student from your own cohort be given priority to go on an IAESTE internship overseas.

“We have been involved with the IAESTE program now for over five years. The students that have come to our laboratories have been enthusiastic, capable, and well liked by the staff. The variety of cultural backgrounds has enriched our workplace and I highly recommend the program to other employers.”
